The Coup/Def Jukies OK After Bus Accident

    Earlier this morning a tour bus carrying Mr.
    Lif, Boots Riley and The Coup, DJ Big Wiz, Metro and friends, flipped over and burst in
    to flames.

    El-P, president of Def Jux, posted this on the Definitive Jux website today.  [

    “Miraculously, everyone managed to escape with his or her
    lives. There were injuries suffered to different degrees ranging from
    minor to serious but everyone is essentially OK and getting treated in
    various hospitals. The bus and everything in the bus was destroyed in
    the fire.

    The most serious injuries were sustained by DJ Big Wiz
    (Def Jux),
    Zarha (friend and merchandise assistant to Mr. Lif
    ) and SILK-E (The
    Coup). They are all being looked after now and beginning the process of
    recovery.

    Everyone else (MR LIF, METRO, THE COUP) is battered, but relatively unscathed. 
    For obvious reasons the tour will most likely not continue. Right
    now the dust has yet to completely settle but once it does we will
    provide fans and friends who are concerned with info on how to reach
    out to the injured parties and express well wishes.

    We are all incredibly grateful that our amazing friends and fellow musicians survived this serious event.

    Sincerely,

    EL-P and DEFINITIVE JUX

    Mr. Lif posted this message on his website(www.mrlif.com),
    “The tour bus ran off the road for a 30 foot drop. Everyone is alive,
    but four need extensive hospitalization and surgery. We appreciate all
    concern and would like to thank everyone who was planning to attend our
    shows.”
