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 ↴
I'm just a dead boy, just so stuck in my ways
I'm just a dead boy, I got no blood in my veins
I'm just a dead boy, just so stuck in my ways
You say you banging like Marvin Gaye's father, be honest
You actin' hard, sellin' dope, like I ain't got enough on me
Say you strapped like the army, claim you spraying the Tommy
See I already passed, now I'm in a better place
With a fountain and some pillars and my girl to feed me grapes
If you thinking death is bad, let me tell you that it's great
Come and pay me a visit, I'm in the grave by the lake
Young Kevin Nash, just a victim of this cash
If the money make us choose, just make sure we make it back
Just make sure we make it flip, just make sure we make it last
Flow, roll, smoke, breathe, speak, creep and make it stack
Now she dead on the flo', now I'm ready to go
See, I don't like a bitch if she like Anna Nicole
Fubu on my velour, it's the prince of the sewers
See, it's the lord of the rest, no shirt, no shoes
What?
The lyrics to Bones's song DeadBoy paint the picture of a character who considers himself a dead boy. He repeats the phrase "I'm just a dead boy, I got no blood in my veins, just so stuck in my ways" as a form of self-identification. This repetition highlights the song's theme of feeling lifeless and trapped in a certain way of living.
The song also features references to death and violence. The singer dismisses the threats of others, claiming that he is already dead and therefore impervious to harm. He also expresses the idea that death is not something to be feared, but rather something that can offer relief from the struggles of life. The line "If you thinking death is bad, let me tell you that it's great" speaks to this idea.
Overall, DeadBoy showcases a character who feels trapped and unalive, while also exploring themes of violence and death.

Jestem martwym chłopcem, nie ma krwi w moich żyłach
Jestem martwym chłopcem, tylko zablokowanym w swój sposób*
Jestem straconym chłopcem, nie mam krwi w moich żyłach
Jestem straconym chłopcem, tylko zablokowanym w swój sposób
[Wers 1: Bones]
Powiedziałeś napierdalam jak ojciec Marvina Gave'sa, bądźmy szczery
Grasz zawzięcie, sprzedając ćpanie, "nie mam wystarczająco dla siebie"
Powiedz że jesteś przywiązany jak armia, wyjaśnię Ci serią z Tommiego**
Jestem tylko zwłokami na ganku, nie masz jak mnie skrzywdzić
Widzisz, ja już przeminąłem, jestem w lepszym miejscu
Z fontanną i kolumanmi, i moją dziewczyną karmiącą mnie winogronami
Jeśli myślisz że śmierć jest zła, powiem Ci że wspaniała
Chodź i złóż mi wizytę, jestem w grobie przy jeziorze
[Wers 2: Bones]
Młody Kevin Nash, tylko ofiara tej kasy
Jeśli kasa decyduje o wyborze, po prostu miej pewność że sprawiliśmy że to wróciło
Miej pewność że to przerzuciliśmy, że sprawiliśmy że będzie trwało
Płyń, skręcaj, pal, oddychaj, mów, strasz i zrób z tego stos
Teraz leży martwa na podłodze, teraz jestem gotów by odejść
Widzisz, nie lubię szmaty, jeśli lubi Annę Nicole
Fubu na moim welurze, to jest książe krawców***
Widzisz, to jest pan reszty, bez koszulki, bez butów
Co?

@KraktysAncientAccount
I didn't realize I've been listening to bones for 9 YEARS!!! Whats crazy is that his style hasn't changed much hes just honed it in. Whats crazier is that this kind of music IS now popular. Suicideboys etc. Bones was a full Decade ahead of his time 💀💀🤯
@GxDOOM
If you count his shit from before he was BONES, YA KNOW Th@Kid

@davidesquer7776
His style HAS changed. It’s just that his sound is evolving into its own thing now his sound is finally his own thing no on really can replicate
