'''Bryon Anthony McCane II''' (born September 12, 1976),<ref name="Whitburn">Whitburn, Joel (2008) ''Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles 1955–2006'', Record Research, {{ISBN|978-0-89820-172-7}}, p. 97</ref> better known by his stage name '''Bizzy Bone''', is an American rapper, singer and the youngest member of the [[Cleveland]] rap group [[Bone Thugs-n-Harmony]].

== Early life ==
Bryon Anthony McCane II was born in [[Columbus, Ohio]]. In 1981, four-year-old McCane and his two sisters were abducted by their mother's ex-husband while their mother was at work and held captive for over two years.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Sh2f4gY62/?ig_rid=70a5118f-3208-4346-bd2d-15ee842da326&ig_mid=C2DDF05F-F7CC-4369-A948-8C203702D48E | title=Instagram }}</ref> McCane recalls that at first, he did not know he had been kidnapped and was made to believe that his mother and grandmother were dead. During the time they were abducted, he and his sisters lived in many homes, apartments, cars, and motels, all in northern [[Oklahoma]]. He and his sisters were often beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. In 1983, the "family" had been living on the [[Kaw people|Kaw Indian Reservation]] in [[Kaw City, Oklahoma|Kaw, Oklahoma]], for about a year and a half. A babysitter saw his photo at the end of the made-for-TV film ''[[Adam (1983 film)|Adam]]'' about the producer and creator of ''[[America's Most Wanted]]'', [[John Walsh (television host)|John Walsh's]] son's abduction, and called the police, resulting in his and his sisters' return to their family.<ref name="mtvprofile">{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1453923/bone-thugs-bizzy-bone-discusses-being-kidnapped-at-age-4/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141202055614/http://www.mtv.com/news/1453923/bone-thugs-bizzy-bone-discusses-being-kidnapped-at-age-4/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 2, 2014 |title= Bone Thugs' Bizzy Bone Discusses Being Kidnapped at Age 4| work=MTV.com |date= May 13, 2002 |access-date= October 20, 2019}}</ref>

When he was 13, McCane began living with his oldest sister at her home near [[Cleveland]], Ohio. During this period, he met [[Layzie Bone]], [[Krayzie Bone]], [[Bone Thugs-n-Harmony|Wish Bone]] and [[Flesh-n-Bone]]. McCane started in hip-hop as a founding member of the group Bone Enterpri$e, which was formed in 1992. The group was noticed by one of the founders of the rap group [[N.W.A]], [[Eazy-E]], who modified the group's name to Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony.

In 2002, McCane appeared on the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|FOX]] series ''America's Most Wanted'' (hosted by John Walsh, Adam's father) <ref name= "new.music.yahoo.com">{{cite web |url= http://new.music.yahoo.com/bizzy-bone/news/bizzy-bone-to-discuss-childhood-kidnapping-on-americas-most-wanted--12065403 |title=Bizzy Bone News | publisher= Yahoo!

McCane also wrote and performed a song, "A.M.W.", on the show in which he thanks Walsh and encourages abused children to come forward.<ref>Constantine, Tim.
