Other releases from James over the past 12 months include Fair Exchange No Robbery with Nicholas Craven, Mr. Ten08 with Futurewave, and Be That As It May with Cuns.
On Sunday (Jan. 15), Detroit rap legend Eminem wished James a speedy recovery after hearing news of his accident. “Sending out best wishes for a quick recovery for The D’s own @boldyjames!!!” the rapper wrote in a post on his Twitter account. In 2020, Em and James appeared alongside each other on fellow Motor City rep Big Sean’s song “Friday Night Cypher” from his Detroit 2 album.
