Rap group Cannibal
Ox has officially broken up. Group members Vast Aire and Vordul have parted ways
and have canceled a planned 30 city tour with Jean Grae, which was slated to start
October 17th.
"This is the
second tour we canceled this year," former DJ Anthony "Cip One"
Cipriani told AllHipHop.com. "Since leaving Def Jux, Vast and Vordul rarely
speak to each other any more. Vast just wants to focus on his solo career."
Jean Grae expressed
shock at the group members decision to call it quits. Grae was part of the tour,
promoting her The Bootleg Of The Bootleg EP.
"People kept
telling me it wouldn’t happen due to the history of the group’s situation with
concert promoters worldwide," Jean Grae added. "Friday when Can Ox
decided to pull out of the tour at the last second, as well as break up their
group officially, we were pretty much left with nothing, except the pieces to
try and pick up."
Grae’s representatives
have started planning a new tour to support The Bootleg of the Bootleg EP,
which is in stores now.
