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 ↴
Bitches on me, they ready, I don't even gotta say nothing
Somehow they just love me, somehow they just trust me
I say I'm pretty fly for a white guy, I feel like David Duchovny
I'm lookin' like Bam Margera, I flip a bitch into a manual
I got something they can't handle, try to run up and get handled
Let me replenish my levels, I got my blunts and I'm rollin
I been dead for a minute, now my body couldn't get colder
Back to the mother fuckin' plan, creep through the night with the blade in my hand
Sleep in the day, wake up with the moon, double cross me and I'll see you soon
I don't need a God, I just need you
The lyrics of Bones's song BamMargera talk about his lifestyle and the way he is perceived by people around him. He opens the song talking about riding off in his Chevy with drugs in the trunk, while girls are showing interest in him without him even trying. Bones compares himself to David Duchovny and Bam Margera, painting himself as someone who is "pretty fly for a white guy" and showing off his skills by doing a flip in his car. He mentions having something that others can't handle, and warns whoever tries to approach him will be handled. Bones then takes a break to roll his blunts and talks about his life being colder and emptier than before.
He then goes back to his plan, which involves sneaking around at night with a blade in his hand, sleeping during the day and waking up at night. He seems to suggest that he doesn't need God, but he needs the person he's addressing in the song. The lyrics carry an ominous tone throughout, and it is clear that the person Bones is addressing should not double-cross him.
