RIP DJ K-SWIFT

In extremely unfortunate news, 28 year old DJ K-Swift of Baltimore’s 92Q died early this morning in a pool accident.


Khia EdgertonK-Swift started DJ’ing at the age of 11.

K-Swift broke ground on Baltimore’s Radio One station 92Q Jams, where she rose to Female Mix Show Coordinator and was the only female in the country to hold the title.

She was also a member of the Violator-All Star DJ Coalition, as well as a member of the all female squad the Murda Mami’s.

In addition to being the only female record pool director in Baltimore (Direct Drive Record Pool), K-Swift also owned Club Queen Entertainment, a graphics management and production company.

"DJ K-Swift was one of kindest individuals I have come across in my travels. She represented Violator and more importantly Hip-Hop," said Violator CEO Chris Lighty. "Our prayers go out to her family. She will be missed."

"I want to say thank you for being that role model, aunt, manager and friend that you were," added K-Swift's nephew, DJ The Kid. "I am gonna miss you more than anyone can imagine...I love you K, save that place in heaven for me so we can kick it like the old days when I get there."
GV Says: I'm at a loss. My prayers go to her family. So young, so determined....Such a loss to see someone like that go. Puts things into perspective.
