1. Elmo Kennedy O'Connor, known professionally as Bones, is an American rapper from Howell, Michigan. He is notable for the frenetic pace at which he releases new music, including over 40 mix tapes and 88 music videos since 2011, and his resistance to signing with a major record label or charging money for his music despite significant popularity and label interest. Born to a mother who designed clothing and a father who was a web designer. His grandfather was actor Robert Culp. When Bones was 7 years old, his family moved to Howell, Michigan. When he was 16, he dropped out of high school and moved to Los Angeles where his brother, Elliott, had already been living.
He has collaborated on three tracks with Raider Klan member Eddy Baker, including “High”, “Delinquents”, and “PayPal” off of Bones's albums Saturn (2013), Creep (2013), and Garbage (2014). Bones also performs and collaborates often with Xavier Wulf and another former Raider Klan member Chris Travis. Bones is 1 of the 4 members in the collective Seshollowaterboyz, which consists of Him (Bones), Xavier Wulf, Chris Travis, and Eddy Baker.
In 2014, Bones self-released 5 mixtapes through his label TeamSesh, including Garbage, which received coverage and critical acclaim from notable publications including The Fader, Pigeons & Planes, and RESPECT.
Bones headlined a sold out show at the House of Blues in Los Angeles on March 4, 2015. and opened for Shlohmo at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on May 7, 2015. The hook from Bones' song "Dirt" was featured in ASAP Rocky's "Canal St." on the 2015 At. Long. Last. ASAP album.
On September 17, 2015, Bones performed "Canal St." with ASAP Rocky on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show but was cut from the TV broadcast. Videos of the performance were made available online. Bones and his manager Elliott O’Connor, who is also his brother, have both stated that major labels have shown interest in signing him but he has declined up to this point. According to Max Bell of LA Weekly, "interested labels wanted him to be their 'white rapper,' an artist along the lines of Mac Miller and Machine Gun Kelly. But Bones wasn't interested in being remade.
2. Bones are a death metal band from Belgium, with two releases on Bandcamp, and an EP "Gate Of Night" out soon on Blood Harvest Records. Lineup: Stef (guitars/vocals), Jeroen (lead guitars/vocals), Viktor (drums), Laurens (bass).
3. Bones are a 3-piece death metal punk band from Chicago, with two releases on Bandcamp and a third currently being recorded. Originally members of the 90s thrash band Usurper, Bones compromises of Joe Warlord (drums), Carcass Chris (guitar), and Jon Necromancer (bass & vox).
4. Part performance artist, part ego drenched rock star, Bones rips delta blues with punks intensity, and throws in a little stripper jazz for colour. With the delivery of a storefront preacher, The Man Named Bones (the alter ego of one Michael Miller) sings, screams and growls Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll with tongue firmly in cheek. Armed with an upright bass, an electric guitar, a sampler and a drum machine, Bones is a one man blues/punk machine.
5. Bones was an untitled noise project released on the French static noise / HNW label Slow Death Music, believed to by Julien Skrobek.

Bones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can tell by the look in your eyes I ain't seen
Nothing yet oh no
Cause the talk of the town is you get around
Just one touch and your dress hits the ground
I got what you want you got what I need
So C'mon baby let me slide it in and
I'm Gonna rattle you bones
I'm gonna rattle you bones
Girl I'm gonna rattle you bones
Tonight
Talking sex on the telephone
Baby dirty fingers have a mind of their own
If ya need a helping hand baby I'm your man
I got the touch like no other man
You got what I want I got what you need
So c'mon baby let me slide it in and
Rattle you bones
I'm gonna rattle you bones
I'm gonna rattle you bones
Girl I'm gonna rattle you bones
C'mon shake it baby
I'm gonna rattle you bones
I'm gonna rattle you bones
I'm gonna rattle you bones
Girl I'm gonna rattle you bones
C'mon baby
Rattle you bones rattle you bones
I'm gonna rattle you bones rattle you bones
I'm gonna rattle you bones rattle you bones
I'm gonna rattle you bones tonight
The song "Air" by Bones talks about the singer's desire to have sexual relations with a woman. It describes her Sunday dress as sweet and innocent, but due to the look in her eyes, it is clear that she is not as innocent as she seems. The talk of the town is that she gets around, and he is drawn to her. He offers her what she wants, and he takes what he needs in return. The lyrics suggest a physical relationship, with the repeated line "I'm gonna rattle your bones" emphasizing the physicality of what he wants to do.
Throughout the song, there is a focus on touch, both physically and over the phone. He offers a helping hand and describes his touch as being like no other man's. The use of the telephone in the song suggests a form of long-distance communication, adding to the idea of desire and anticipation. The repeated phrase "got what you need" emphasizes that the two are using each other for their own pleasure.
It's important to note that these lyrics are sexually explicit and may not be suitable for all listeners. While they explore themes of desire and physical intimacy, it is important to remember the importance of consent and mutual respect in any sexual relationship.

Bones - Air
The first time was the last time
The last time felt like the first time
I'm trying to find the place deep inside
I can be all by myself tonight
I be smoking too much, be sober too little
My mother told me stop as I'm gutting up a Swisher
The way that I be living I hope that I see my children
See them break my rules, see them doing what they shouldn't
Middle of the night, outside by myself
Breathing in the air, hoping that it ends well
Silence in my ear, too loud, can't hear
Echoes in the streets be the sound of the breeze
I miss the life that I had with you
I close my eyes, hope to see you soon
@michaelgant758
An you are wrong about every word coming out your mouth. Cumming out of your mouth.
Or being a b*tch, Is part your genetic history..
We made history, an yall suck at music.
Im more than this or just a band.
I control society.
Nobody had the balls to stand. When its needed. Tell me your reasons for notifying a classification of Emo music. If you dont make music period. It dont concern you.

+SickestRap In this generation there isn't really a lot to choose from. It's either radio music, or the rest. Thats why I just chill and listen to underground shit instead of the braindead music of today.
