Wayne Hardnett, Jr. (born August 23, 1971), better known by his stage name Bone Crusher, is an American rapper/singer based in Atlanta.[1] After working as part of the group Lyrical Giants, he debuted in 2003 with his first solo album AttenCHUN!,[2] which featured the single "Never Scared", used as the theme for the 2003 Atlanta Braves and also found in the video game Madden NFL 2004. The song features T.I. and Killer Mike and accompanied with a video that reached heavy rotation on MTV, BET and other networks. He is also widely known for his voice and stage act being extraordinarily close to that of "Hype Man" Fatman Scoop, who is known for his hit single "Be Faithful". Bone Crusher was also a participant and honoree during the 2010 Dirty South Hip Hop Honors in Atlanta and is considered one of the highlight performances.
