While many fans recognize heavyweight rapper Bone Crusher from his hit single "Neva Scared" and his starring role in the latest season of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club 4 reality series, the Atlanta-bred MC is hoping to find new success in the rock world.
Bone Crusher, born Wayne Hardnett, recently assembled a group of musicians to form the band The Onslaught, which features Bone Crusher rapping and singing.
"I got a bunch of crazy black boys that like that metal s**t," Bone Crusher told AllHipHop.com, adding that he is preparing another Hip-Hop album titled Planet Crusher.
Planet Crusher, which is due out in Jan. is the follow up to Bone Crusher's sophomore album Release The Beast, which hit stores in July 2006 on Roy Jones Jr.'s Body Head Entertainment and 845 Entertainment.
The album failed to match the success of Bone Crusher' 2003 debut release AttenCHUN!, which spawned the hit single "Neva Scared."
Bone Crusher is currently one of the standout celebrities featured on Celebrity Fit Club 4, where celebrities compete in physical and motivational competitions designed to shed pounds and win prizes.
During the show, the rapper, who stands 6'1, revealed he never worried about his weight, which had risen to almost 430 pounds. He changed his mind when he viewed a videotaped segment of his wife crying and expressing her fear for his health.
During Celebrity Fit Club 4, Bone Crusher must shed 45 pounds.
Other celebrities on the show include Angie Stone, Ted Lange (Isaac from The Love Boat), Vincent Pastore ("Big Pussy" from The Sopranos), Nick Turturro (NYPD Blue, Malcolm X, Jungle Fever), Erika Eleniak (Playboy model, Baywatch), Carnie Wilson and Tina Yothers (Family Ties).
Ever the entrepreneur, those with keen eyes can spot Bone Crusher wearing his new clothing line called Panda throughout the season.
The Panda clothing line caters to both men and women and is slated to hit stores in 2007.
