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 ↴
Pop lock and drop ya like Huey done asked me
Mud on my corpse if you crazy I'm bat shit
Bones be the one the game hate with a passion
When did it start, I think I know
The second I chose to come out of my tomb
Everyone gather and hold hands and let out a big fuck you Bones
On two one two
Coming through
Your crew look like To Wong Foo
Give a fuck about your loot
Motherfucker gimme truth
And if you all out of the latter Imma have to take the first
Try to bop me for my spot
Hold up, someone get this boy a hearse
I'm taking the long way home tonight
I just need some space, I don't wanna live today
Ran into the crow of the after life
He opened up his beak whispered, "Bones, please come with me"
Dead boy, what big eyes you have
The better to see you with
With hands of the witch cursed with one grip
I will rise from the fire
Finna blow away with the breeze
Reporting live from the core
Making it hard to breathe
Bones's song Oxygen delves into his experiences with death, the afterlife and feeling detached from the world. The opening lines of the song "Droppin' down hoppin' out straight out the casket, Pop lock and drop ya like Huey done asked me " references the act of rising from the dead, and his distaste for the fake, materialistic world with lines like "Give a fuck about your loot, Motherfucker gimme truth." He feels like an outcast in the rap game with lines like "Bones be the one the game hates with a passion."
The chorus of the song is a haunting repetition of "I'm taking the long way home tonight, I just need some space, I don't wanna live today." emphasizing that Bones feels suffocated and disconnected from the world around him. The verse describing Bones encountering the crow of the afterlife is a personal reflection on the concept of death and what comes after it. The final line, "Making it hard to breathe" brings the song back to the title, Oxygen, as if to say that he can't breathe in this world and that's why he's searching for answers in the afterlife.

Droppin' down hoppin' out straight out the casket
I'm back from the dead and ready to take on the world
Pop lock and drop ya like Huey done asked me
I'll defeat you in any competition or fight
Mud on my corpse if you crazy I'm bat shit
I am insane and fearless and can handle anything, even dirty work
Bones be the one the game hate with a passion
I am hated by those in the industry who are threatened by my unique talent and success
When did it start, I think I know
I know when my rise to fame began
The second I chose to come out of my tomb
It all began when I decided to come back to life and start rapping again
Everyone gather and hold hands and let out a big fuck you Bones
My haters are united against me and want me to fail
On two one two
I'm ready to destroy them
Coming through
I am here and ready to take on anything
Your crew look like To Wong Foo
Your group looks ridiculous and out of place in comparison to mine
Give a fuck about your loot
I'm not interested in your money or material possessions
Motherfucker gimme truth
I want honesty and authenticity
And if you all out of the latter Imma have to take the first
If you can't give me truth, I'll have to make my own way and take control
Try to bop me for my spot
If you try to take my place in the industry, I'll fight back
Hold up, someone get this boy a hearse
You don't stand a chance against me, you might as well be dead
I'm taking the long way home tonight
I need some space and time to process my thoughts
I just need some space, I don't wanna live today
I'm struggling with personal issues and need time to myself
Ran into the crow of the after life
I've encountered a mystical figure that represents death
He opened up his beak whispered, Bones, please come with me
Death is calling me and asking me to leave this world
Dead boy, what big eyes you have
Death sees everything, even the things people try to hide
The better to see you with
Death is all-seeing and can't be fooled
With hands of the witch cursed with one grip
Death has the power to take souls and control lives
I will rise from the fire
I will come back stronger and more determined than ever before
Finna blow away with the breeze
I will transcend past my obstacles and triumph
Reporting live from the core
I'm here and ready to make an impact
Making it hard to breathe
My talent and power are suffocating my haters

@@nev0n715 He just capitalized bass, his English is not fucked.
@shanechenmusic1804
This doesn’t necessarily have that much bass, it’s just distorted in a way and mixed in the context of the song to sound very aggressive and heavy, but it’s not supposed to be that loud because that will ruin the mix.
@themightysqwee1688
I just noticed he starts the song rapping incredibly fast and as the song progresses he goes slower and slower till hes screaming at the end. Its amazing how he just changes his flow completely without you even noticing.
