In recent years, veteran Detroit, Michigan MC Boldy James has been leveling up. After more than a decade in the Rap game, Boldy has made some of his best material at a prolific rate. 2020’s The Price Of Tea In China alongside Alchemist was named among Ambrosia For Heads‘ best albums that year. Since, he’s signed with Griselda Records and producer Jay Versace for The Versace Tape, linked with Nicholas Craven for Fair Exchange No Robbery, and another clip with ALC (2021’s Super Tecmo Bo and Bo Jackson), in addition to others.

This week, Boldy nearly lost his life to tragedy. Today (January 14) it was revealed that the Rap vet survived a serious automobile accident on Monday January 9.

James’ publicist shared the following statement with AFH: “On Monday, January 9, Boldy James was involved in a serious two-car accident in the Detroit metropolitan area. I can confirm that Boldy arrived at the hospital in critical condition, suffering from broken vertebrae in his neck and orthopedic injuries. After undergoing extensive surgery on his neck, Boldy has been removed from the intensive care unit and is now in stable condition.

Boldy and his family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses that are taking care of him, and also to the communities’ emergency medical personnel and first responders.”
