The X-ECUTIONERS
These world-renown turntablists, formerly known as the X-Men, officially became the X-Ecutioners when they made the leap from battle-DJs to recording artists in their own right. Founded in 1989 with the stated intention of dethroning the reigning battle-DJs in the local hip hop DJ scene, the prestigious establishment set to become the most dominant forces in the history of the hip hop DJ. These New York natives can count themselves among a select handful of DJs (including their west coast peers the now defunct Invisibl Skratch Piklz) who spearheaded the turntablist movement, by taking the classic hip-hop techniques of mixing and cutting into a whole new realm of musical improvisation.

In 2004 Roc Raida and Total Eclipse, welcomed the genre-elevating talents of turntablists DJ Boogie Blind (2000 Vestax World Champ) and DJ Precision (Beatdown World Champ 2002) as official members of the ever-evolving super DJ group.

SADAT X
Few artists in hip-hop have afforded the longevity that Sadat X has. Unmoved by an inevitable changing of the guard in Rap, the X-Man remains a beacon of true, un-facsimiled artistry. In so many words, he sits atop the lists of your favorite rappers favorite rapper. Its like his time as a child confined to the other side of the street or his uncles car, watching Cold Crush or Kool Herc park jams molded Sadat into the respected person & and wholly unique emcee he is today.
