ONE of A KIND Music: Michayl Lox

THE NAME IS MICHAYL LOX AKA LIL BONE FACE:

A name is just a name, unless there is a meaning behind that name. Michayl Lox has the mentality to always have a meaning with everything you do, never do nothing for no reason because if it back-fires in your face you can always look back to see if the meaning for what you did was worth it. Michayl Lox chose his name wisely, his name is Michael which means (who is like god?) but when spelled Michayl, it means (who is like the power?) which gives the name power, and people are obsessed with his dreadlocks so he added Lox to his name. Michayl Lox is also known as Lil Bone Face, weighing in at only 155 lbs. doesn't mean that his face is boney and that's where the strange name comes from. His brother cut his face when he was at the tender age of four with an electric knife and you could see the bone. His peers soon called him "Bone Face", and soon became a notorious icon throughout the city, and passing down respect to his little brother who looks like a replica of "Bone Face", hence the given name "Lil Bone Face". Lil Bone Face also can be broken down into an acronym, Liquor Insane Loc Bangin' On Niggas Everyday Flossin' And Cripin Easily.

"I sort of what you can say "jumped on the band-wagon" when I first heard rap music. I knew my brother Bone Face Real and a few others in my family did their own thing in music and I looked up to them, so it was only natural as a little kid to follow in the footsteps and try to be that cool."
