Our Hearts Go Out To All Family And Friends

Tragedy Has Struck The City Mouse & Coven and Crazy D Tour

At our first stop on tour, our tourmate Hunter (Coven from Coven & Crazy D)  drowned in Chicago.  We love and miss him so much.  It's still hard to fathom that something could go so wrong.  We're back home now.  We will not be continuing the tour as there is a lot of arrangements to be made and all attention will be devoted to his son and other family for the time being. The following is coverage from the Lexington Herald Leader and the Chicago Tribune. Herald Leader

Richmond hip-hop artist found dead By Ashlee Clark HERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITER
The body of a member of a Richmond hip-hop duo was found early yesterday in the Chicago River. Hunter Whitaker, 25, of Richmond, was found dead by the Chicago Fire Department at 5:50 a.m. yesterday off Lakeshore Drive, said Sgt. Robert Cargie, a news affairs officer with the Chicago Police Department. The cause of Whitaker's death will not be known until a medical examiner's investigation is complete, Cargie said. Whitaker and Richmond resident David Webster performed as the comedic gangsta rap group Coven and Crazy D. They had been on a U.S. tour with a Lexington punk-pop group, City Mouse. The first stop on their tour was Thursday at The Studio in Chicago. Coven and Crazy D's music had been compared to rap groups the Beastie Boys and The Bloodhound Gang. The duo released an album, Gangsters and Busters, on the Berea- and Lexington-based Eugene Records label this summer. "This is a terrible, terrible thing -- Hunter was a really great guy and had a lot of friends that will sorely miss him," said a post on the Eugene Records Web site.
