R.I.P DJ Roc Raida!!!!
Offical Word From Busta Rhymes:
I am sorry 2 say that on this day at 2:05 Sept 19th we lost another incredible life…Dj Roc Raida died 2day my personal Dj is gone…
It saddens me to put up this post. As you may have seen a few posts back, I wrote about Roc Raida having a really bad accident. The accident wasn’t involving a car, it happened while practising Martial Arts. Today that accident has resulted to the death of one of the greatest Turntablists of all time.
I can’t believe he has passed on. This guy has given EVERY TURNTABLIST (don’t front!) inspiration to scratch, juggle, produce and mix.

DAAAMN!!! He will be definately missed amongst the tablist scene worldwide, perhaps one of the Greatest of ALL time. I dont know any turntablist who wasnt influenced by him at all.
RIP Grandmaster Roc Raida!!!!

Sad news
One of the guys who really helped Turntablism get recognized into the mainstream.
Hey Joe, you might want to link Roc’s guest set the 1997 DMCs on my YouTube page. (2 videos)
Cheers.
