ROC RAIDA Tribute at The Tableturns Reunion at BB King's
Going down this Thursday (Oct. 22) featuring:
THE X-ECUTIONERS, X- MEN, THE BEAT JUNKIES, A-TRAK, DJ CRAZE, Z-TRIP, THE ALLIES Reunion as well as...
DJ SCRATCH, ROLI RHO, IDEE, DJ DUMMY, SLYCE, SHIFTEE and many more TBA.
Special MC performance by DITC and many more TBA. This info comes from BB King's but my dude, Eclipse says this line-up is not accurate so stay tuned for updates if and when I get them.
This show is for charity and has a pretty unf-ckwittable line-up so even if you're running around town checking all the CMJ shows out, you should make time to get to this too. And even though I have a connect I'm not giving tickets away for this. This is a benefit event for the late, great Grandmaster Roc Raida's family so ACT LIKE YOU KNOW!

Roc Raida Tribute Time Lapse Video
Was about to hit the sack when I saw this:
Cool sh-t. Here's the explanation:
"The illustration is done in Ball Pen & Ink within a 6.5 hours period. The video is complied with still pictures taken approx every 5 minutes. The beat is track 3 from his Champion Sound Mixtape (2003)."

Eclipse on his September 23 Halftime Show Roc Raida Tribute show:
"On Sunday night I threw together a short Roc Raida tribute set at the beginning of my Sirius show. On Monday night Premier and I held our monthly "Like They Used To Say" party at APT which we dedicated to Roc Raida and were able to raise over $4,000 for his family. On Wednesday night I wanted to do a proper tribute show so I contemplated on what to do. As I compiled every song I could that Raida was featured on (production or scratches) I thought it would be better to reach out to his friends and get their take on what the man meant to them. What started out as a dozen or so people that I intended to talk to snowballed into phone call after phone call of friends wanting to share stories. Please forgive me if I left out someone's name (or misspelled) in this email, but following is a list of who called or showed up at station (no particular order):
Boogie Blind, Daddy Dog, Roli Rho, Kuttin Kandi, Riz, JS-1, Jab, Sugar Cuts, Neil Armstrong, Fat Fingaz, Q-Bert, Mixmaster Mike, A-Trak, J-Rocc, Babu, Rhettmatic, Scratch, Revolution, Rahzel, Bobbito, A.G., Lord Finesse, Dr. Butcher, Vin Roc, DJ Grouch, Freestyle, Spictakular, Shortkut, Supreme and Tame One.
We ended up going an hour longer then we should have. In between calls I found some old cassette tapes of radio show appearances by the X-Men. I hope you enjoy listening to the show as much as I did. Thanks to the whole Halftime crew for making this run smooth; Skizz, Petey Cologne and Marz One. To everyone that showed up or called in....I love you all."

DJ Roc Raida has died!
I can't even believe I just read this on 2DopeBoyz. This story broke via a tweet by Busta Rhymes (above, obvs) who Roc DJ'd for. I only knew Roc in passing to be honest but have been cool with people he ran with for years. I am just f-cked up over this, my deepest, deepest condolences and sympathies go out to his friends, family, business associates and fans....
