It is with great sorrow that we have to say goodbye to yet another talented creative soul from this earth in 2009.
Grandmaster Roc Raida (Anthony Williams) died today from as-yet undisclosed details, although there are rumours that there may have been complications from a vehicle collision.
RR was most famously known for his turntable skills within the New York dj group The X-Ecutioners who at one time consisted of Rob Swift, Roc Raida, Total Eclipse, and Mista Sinista.
Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Patrick Swayze, John Hughes, Jade Goody, Sir Bobby Robson, Natasha Richardson, David Carradine, Wendy Richard, Keith Floyd, DJ AM, Ted Kennedy, Les Paul........
Please listen to Built From Scratch and raise a glass to such a talented man.
