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 see you in my dreams, bitch
I see you in my dreams
I see you in my dreams, bitch
Shut my eyes and then I think of you
Rollin' blunts on my fuckin' stoop
I ain't ridin' 'round in no Bentley coupe
I don't really talk too much
But just know that I'm always watchin'
See, I don't really like you much
But I'ma give you a chance, so just watch, watch
Watch me, I'ma show you how
Young white pimp and I'm puttin' it down
Young Timberlake, I'm so N'Sync
I'm rollin' blunts while I'm comin' down
Bitches know that it's BONES
Razor blade in my palm
Got ancient silk on my body
I'm feelin' like I'm in Rome (what?)
I see you in my dreams
I see you in my dreams, bitch
I see you in my dreams
I see you in my dreams, bitch
I see you in my dreams, yeah (what? What?)
I see you in my dreams, bitch (what? What? Yeah)
I see you in my dreams (yeah, I see, what? What? What?)
See you in my
BONES, yeah, SESH
In these lyrics, the rapper Bones is expressing his thoughts and feelings about someone who occupies his mind, even in his dreams. The repeated line "I see you in my dreams, bitch" suggests a sense of obsession or preoccupation with this person, possibly someone he has complicated feelings towards. The use of the term "bitch" could indicate a sense of frustration or aggression in his thoughts about this individual.
As the lyrics continue, Bones describes shutting his eyes to think of this person while engaging in mundane activities like rolling blunts on his stoop. He contrasts his lifestyle with that of a stereotypical rapper by stating he's not driving a luxury car or involved in criminal activities. This could imply a sense of realness and authenticity in his self-expression, as well as a rejection of mainstream expectations and stereotypes in the music industry.
He acknowledges that he may not speak much, but he is observant and always watching. This could indicate a sense of guardedness or wariness in his interactions with others. Despite not particularly liking the person he's referencing, he is willing to give them a chance, suggesting a complex mix of emotions and intentions towards this individual. The reference to being a "young white pimp" and feeling like he's in Rome with silk on his body paints a vivid picture of swagger and confidence in his identity.
The repetition of the hook "I see you in my dreams" emphasizes the central theme of the song, with Bones experiencing a persistent connection to this person even when he's asleep. The abrupt transition to the mention of Bones and "SESH" at the end of the lyrics could represent a sudden shift in focus or mindset, signaling a conclusion to his contemplation of this individual. Overall, the song portrays a mix of introspection, bravado, and vulnerability in Bones's portrayal of his thoughts and emotions towards someone who holds a significant place in his mind and dreams.
