Respect Roc Raida

Friday was ____________ I can't even explain in words but I will try to because I have to share what an experience it was. The Tribute event hosted by KINETIC NRG & LORD SEAR for the recent passing of the Legendary Roc Raida at BB Kings NYC was packed, the energy was nice but what really stood out to me was the love that could be felt. The whole X-ECUTIONERS /X-MEN family was there along with the BEAT JUNKIES BABU, J-ROCC, RHETTMATIC, SHORTKUT CRAZE, A-TRAK, Z-TRIP, DJ SCRATCH, ROLI RHO, IDEE, DJ DUMMY, SLYCE & SHIFTEE. Busta Bus came through but it was DJ KOOL HERC's words that really set the night off letting the world know that Roc Raida was a Grand Master! Video of Raida and past interviews as well as friends shotouts flashed on the screens in between Dj's sets. They all showed off their best Beat Juggling for there fellow comrade and showed off well. You can google/wikipedia Dj Roc Raida if you like but from what I saw that night was who Roc Raida was in real life... down to earth, eclectic, energetic, loyal and real!

I was fortunate enough to have (one) see him spin at the DMC World Finals (USA) and (two) I was able to have a good conversation with him about music. I again will never understand why the good ones go first but you will be missed. Your family and friends have class but most of all respect for you as your event was epic and down to earth. All proceeds went to his wife and children. His daughter even got on stage to share a view words... and when asked what she wants to be when she grows up, she answered, "I want to be a DJ!"

Crowd cheers and holds up their "X"'s .... nothing but love!
