Bizzy Bone, the second of the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony clan to go solo, has just released his first album, "Heaven'z Movie," which had quite a box-office take in its first week, and will debut at number three on the next "Billboard" album charts.

The first single off of the album is "When Thugz Cry," which Bizzy told MTV News was inspired by his ability to move on creatively after the death of his mentor, Eazy-E, and some of the problems Bizzy and the rest of the Bone Thugz have had to overcome in E's absence.

[article id="1440402"]"When [Eazy-E] was here," [/article]Bizzy said,[article id="1440402"] "[things were fine]. E would give us the freedom, the artistic freedom to do what we wanted to do musically. Then jumping from that to having songs taken off [the record] and things erased in the studio while you're gone, thinking everything's supposed to be this way, and then when the album comes out it's whole 'nother way. It's just sort of treacherous."

The liner notes for "Heaven'z Movie" thanks everyone from Jesus to Bizzy's Granny Rose, but there's also a lengthy list of sarcastic, four letter thank yous. One person definitely not thanked is Ruthless Records' president and Easy E's widow, Tomica Woods-Wright, whom Bizzy refers to as a "black widow." Woods-Wright was not available for comment.

It has long been rumored that Bizzy wants to break away from the Ruthless label, which in November will release a limited edition Bone Thugs-N-Harmony CD and video compilation entitled "Volume One: The Collection.
