Hailing from Schenectady, NY, BoNuS has spent years perfecting his craft, solidifying his place as a respected figure in the underground hip-hop scene. With influences ranging from Tech N9ne and DMX to System of a Down and Slipknot, his sound is a unique blend of raw lyricism, high-energy performances, and storytelling that resonates deeply with listeners.
BoNuS has already worked with major names in the industry, including Swifty McVay, Bronze Nazareth, YukMouth, and Young Buck, proving his versatility and credibility. But his ambitions don’t stop there—he has his eyes set on future collaborations with artists like BINGX, Raigner, Phil Sheurman, KOTAA, and UBI.
His latest track, “Cool Breeze”, released on July 16, 2024, showcases his ability to craft hard-hitting bars over mesmerizing beats. Fans can stream the song on YouTube and Spotify.
With a full-length album set to drop in August 2025 and a lineup of high-profile performances—including the 4th Annual Crossover Fest (Quincy, IL), Kool Keith & MC Homeless Punk Rap Tour (Albany, NY), and High Voltage Underground Music Collective (Troy, NY)—BoNuS is gearing up for his biggest year yet.
His ultimate goal? Breaking out of the underground and becoming a household name, played on mainstream radio and commanding the biggest stages in the industry. He’s confident in his ability, and with the relentless energy he brings to every project, that goal is well within reach.
For those who haven’t yet tapped into his music, BoNuS has one message: “I’m way more than just another rapper. My songs tell real stories people can relate to. Check out my music, and I guarantee you’ll be hooked.”
As for retirement? Don’t count on it. “The day I stop making music is the day I stop breathing,” he says. “Music is my life.”
