Hip Hop is remembering the late X-Ecutioner and 1995 DMC World Champion Roc Raida on the 10-year anniversary of his untimely death.
The legendary turntablist — and one of the best battle DJs to ever live — passed away on September 19, 2009, just a few weeks after suffering an accident during a Krav Maga sparring session. While in the hospital, he went into cardiac arrest and never recovered. He was 37.
