Roc Raida

I bit this from Lifelounge cos Im well lazy.

"Roc Raida (AKA Anthony Williams) – hip hop icon and turntable pioneer – died this weekend, aged just 37-years-old. Differing stories surrounding his death have spread throughout the internet, but a representative for the DJ says that previous reports about karate and complications from a spinal injury were incorrect. The representative did say, however, that Roc Raida had been in hospital for a week, but his death was completely unexpected.

Roc Raida began DJing at just 10-years-old, was an original member of DJ/turntablist group The X-Men (later the X-Ecutioners) in the 80s and was crowned 'Grandmaster' at the World DMC Championships in 1995, then in 1999 was inducted into the DMC Hall of Fame."
