Yesterday, a very special collection of defining songs and DJ battle routines of the late Roc Raida were released by DJ Rob Swift. The compilation also includes some unreleased tracks, original "scratch/beat juggle compositions" that Rob has dedicated to Raida, and thought to be lost interview archives.

Rob Swift notes, "It's not about me this year. It's about Raida, his wife Tye and their 3 kids (Tia, Nyra and Asia). Proceeds from the mixtape sales will be donated to Raida's family."

You can hear a snippet of the mix on Soundcloud. Please support!
