Boldy James was involved in a car accident last Monday in Detroit. Contemporaries like Eminem, Bun B, and Westside Gunn sent their regards.

Detroit emcee Boldy James is recovering after “serious two-car accident” in his hometown this past Monday (January 9), according to his representative. Being rushed to the hospital in critical condition, Boldy, legal name James Clay Jones III, sustained orthopedic injuries and broken neck vertebrae. Undergoing “extensive surgery on his neck," Jones has since been released from the intensive care unit and is now in stable condition.

In a statement, Jones and his family gave thanks to “the incredible doctors and nurses that are taking care of him, and also to the communities’ emergency medical personnel and first responders.”

Also wishing Jones a quick recovery was fellow Detroit rhymesayer Eminem, and other artists including Bun B, Westside Gunn, Statik Selektah, Fly Anakin and Open Mike Eagle.

On Sunday (January 15), Jones posted a message on his Instagram.

“Your prayers are greatly appreciated thanks everyone for all your support the calls text messages I seen them all just keep me in your prayers on this journey as I continue to heal with my family. Thank you god," he wrote.

Initially slated for a release on Monday, January 16, Jones planned to drop physical-only EPADU, produced entirely by Real Bad Man. Coming to vinyl, CD and cassettes, each format of ADU is expected to arrive via RRC Music Co.

“This is a physical release through @rrcmusic.co[.] No digital, no streaming […] no pre-orders,” Jones wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post. The bottom of the image showed that the EP will have six tracks, with Side A featuring “Hellblock to the Sunnyside,” “Hot Cakes” and “Big Bags,” while Side B will contain “Sweetest Taboo,” “Jonny On the Spot” and “Give Or Take.”
