Whatever happened to Tony Bones?

Placebo - Mr. Live featuring Tony Bones
from the 12inch The 10th Letter on Get These Records (1996).

Splashin Over Monica - Mr. Live featuring Tony Bones
from the 12inch promo on Get These Records (1997)

Brooklyn MC Mr. Live put out a bunch of different indy 12"s and EPs in the
mid-90s, bringing consistent lyrical work and always getting choice
beats. He frequently collaborated with British mic controller Tony
Bones, acting collectively under the name 88WhatsAName. I love the way
their voices work together on tracks and in particular think Tony
Bones's deeply accented flowis fantastic.
Placebo is probably their greatest achievement together as they set off a
beautiful true school style piano vamp and heavy bass beat with stellar
verses each. And in the background you can just faintly hear some bells
sampled in the mix. A really nice touch that I almost wish were higher
in the mix.
While Placebo is certified greatness, Splashin Over Monica
is more of a confectionary treat. Referencing President Clinton's
lately night action with intern Monica Lewinsky (remember when
Presidential marital infidelities was the biggest news in the nation -
just seems stupid now). Again Tony Bones drawls out a nice
multi-syllabic story about how Monica was really getting down with/on
him.
There was some love and hate being thrown around on the comments for the
Bay Area rap posts, but there is some great stuff in any regional scene
if you're willing to wade through a lot of crap to find the gold.
