This is tragic. One of NYC’s greatest DJ’s/Turntablists, member of the legendary X-ecutioners Dj squad. He created the cuts on various albums for Fat Joe, Artifacts, Sadat X, O.C., Showbiz & A.G., Big Pun, etc. but more recently he was known for touring with Busta Rhymes.

From Raida’s family….

Anthony Williams p/k to the world as The Legendary Grand Master Roc Raida has passed away unexpectedly today Sept 19 2009. He is survived by his wife, 3 lovely daughters, mother and friends. Raida was recently in an mixed martial arts accident, something that he has been practicing for several years. Although he had under gone 2 surgeries with great success, was released to an inpatient physical therapy facility and was in great spirits the past few days. This morning he started to have complications and passed. The family asks for privacy at this time.

This kind of tragedy makes you realise that you really have to make every day count.

Follow your dreams aggressively, enjoy life, tell your kids that you love them every day, put your stamp on the world!
