WE MISS YOU RAIDA! RIP GRANDMASTER ROC RAIDA (MAY 17, 1972 – SEPT. 19, 2009)

Today, Friday September 19, 2014 is the 5 year anniversary of the passing of our brother, The Xecutioners‘ very own, the late great Grandmaster Roc Raida.  The Xecutioners, The Invisibl Skratch Piklz, & The Beat Junkies……we all have history together.  Even though we are all from different regions across the United States, our 3 crews & a few others were the only ones that were pushing the Dj culture forward while everyone thought that Djing was “played out” during the early 90’s…..

For the Junkies, outside of battling & the competitions, Raida has a special place in our heart because we really bonded with him & the Xmen when we would do shows & tours togethers.  Hanging out, cracking jokes, smoking funny cigerettes…..real brotherhood.  He was our brother……Shout outs to Tye & the kids.  Everyone here misses you Raida…we love you.  Grandmaster Roc Raida Forever!!!
