US rapper Mr Lif and rap group The Coup and their entourages recently escaped serious injury when their tour bus turned over and set on fire. The hip hoppers were on the 21 date Mr Lif Plays With The Coup tour, which began in Calgary back in November.
El-P, founder and CEO of Mr Lif's label, Definitive Jux, wrote in a statement on his company's website: "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 rest of the tour has been cancelled, but the hip hop acts hope to reschedule for a later date.
