Career
Saurus And Bones started rapping in the summer of 2001 and have spent the last 17 years perfecting their style. With the release of their first extended play, "Skeletal Thesaurus", Saurus And Bones became involved with the Chicago hip-hop scene, networking and performing at many shows.[1]
Their style is based on hardcore intensity and original metaphoric lyrics saturated with multisyllabic rhyme patterns and tied together with a midwest influence. Recently, Saurus N Bones have been opening for AK at shows around Chicago and its suburbs. They have also opened for other big artists, including Kottonmouth Kings.[1]
