Unfortunate news in the crate diggin', needle scratching, turntablist realm of the hip-hop scene: Roc Raida, most noted for his work with the X-Ecutioners, died yesterday at the age of 37. After a car crash back a few weeks, complications arose following multiple surgeries and few details are available at this time.
Dr. D and a few others in the APT community had the opportunity to witness the fitness a couple years back at Portland's Asylum nightclub. Amazing shit! Anyone with such skills and contributions to the musical community deserves a shout out. Roc Raida, you will be missed.
Check this video for a taste of the finger-lickin' goodness. Hot damn!
