Roc Raida was one of the most creative turntablists, and I wanted to do my part to continue his legacy. What better way than through his music?”

Released on March 20, 2012 to commemorate the 21 years since the two met, DJ Rob Swift’s mixtape contains a smorgasbord of tracks that Roc Raida scratched, produced or performed battle routines with, interviews and battle routines dedicated to Roc Raida.
