The X-ecutioners Revolutions
GrandMaster Roc Raida, Rob Swift, and Total Eclipse are the X-ecutioners and Revolutions is their latest x-cursion into the realm of scratch-tha-vinyl-virtuosity. The three-man DJ ensemble deliver a raw and creative hip-hop album featuring the likes of Ghostface Killah, Black Thought, Cypress Hill, and Fat Joe on the mic along with collaborations with Blue Man Group and Rob Zombie.
Innovators from the beginning and firmly rooted in hip-hop, the X-cutioners transcend genres with adept moves and pentultimate turntable skills. Internationally recognized for seminal contributions to electronica, jazz, and experimental music, the X-ecutioners performed by invitation in The 20th Century Electronic Music Series at Lincoln Center and in The Smithsonian Institutions' Multicultural/Multimedia Festival at The Great Lawn in Washigton, DC.
If the scope of artists, DJs and producers who have sought out the X-men as collaborators is any indication of for their turntablism skills and creativity then the X-ecutioners are very respected indeed. X-men collaborations read like a who's who list with names including Common, The Beatnuts, Everlast, Rahzel, Organized Konfushion, Atmosphere, Pharoahe Monche, Xzibit, Wu-Tang's Inspectah Deck and Ghostface Killah. Add fellow DJs Dan The Automator and Fatboy Slim, pop icon the Tom Tom Club, rock phenom Linkin Park as well as jazz legends Bob James and Herbie Hancock.
They say you are judged by the company you keep.... 'nuff said.
Oh and just to prove a point here are some Real Audio snippets for y'all! Countdown Pt.2 | Like This | Even More Human Than Human (feat. Rob Zombie)
