The Coup is an American political hip-hop band from Oakland, California, formed in 1991. The group's debut release was The EP (1991), followed by their first full-length album, Kill My Landlord (1993). In 1994, they released their second album, Genocide & Juice. After a four-year hiatus for community activism, the band returned with Steal This Album (1998), which was highly praised and featured the single “Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Granada Last Night”. In November 2001, they released Party Music, but distribution problems led to low sales. Following the album, their promoter Tarus Jackson was fatally shot on November 15, 2005, and on December 2, 2006, the group's tour bus crashed and caught fire, causing the cancellation of their tour. Their fifth album, Pick a Bigger Weapon, was released in 2006. In 2010, their bassist Dewey Tucker was shot and killed on January 13, 2010. Their sixth album, Sorry to Bother You, was released on October 30, 2012. Frontman Boots Riley later directed the film Sorry to Bother You (2018), and the band recorded The Soundtrack to Sorry to Bother You (2018), releasing the single “OYAHYTT” on July 13, 2018.
