When the bus carrying the performers from the Anger Management tour flipped over, many were relieved that nobody got killed. However, there were some pretty close scrapes with death that brought the hip-hop world to a collective hush. One of those close scrapes included Eminem’s new DJ for the tour- Alchemist.
The producer/DJ, while recovering from three fractured ribs and a bruised lung, recounted those near fatal moments with MTV…
“I was in the front of the bus. Me, Stat Quo and one of our security guys, Scott,” Alchemist stated. “My brother Neil, Stat’s manager, Zeke, and Obie Trice’s trainer was in the back. I pretty much saw the whole shit. [Our] driver did an ill-advised move. He tried to swerve around a car doing 85 and advance on the highway when he could have taken it easy.” Al continued “We started screaming when he swerved ’cause the bus went on two wheels…Then he spun the wheel the other way and the bus went back on the other two wheels. At that point the bus was out of control. It was two semis in front of us, and the bus clipped the back of one of the semis. … We spun backward one time and we flipped.“
“I tried to hold onto the table ’cause I knew we was going to flip,” he said. “When that bus flipped, the couch, the table, anything I could hold onto was in the air and I was flying like a dishrag. If you saw the inside of the bus, you’d really be like, ‘How did anybody survive this?’ The inside was torn to shit.“

Alchemist was taken to the hospital where it was found that he had injured a lung along with the three fractured ribs. He was happy to find his brother Neil alive but needing two metal rods along with screws in his neck from a fractured spine.
At press time, Neil is still recovering while Alchemist is ready to return to his position as DJ on the tour as soon as he gets well.
