The X-Ecutioners, first called the X-Men, came out of New York City in 1989 as a crew of hip-hop DJs who treated the turntable as a real instrument. Mista Sinista, Rob Swift and Roc Raida were among the originals, alongside Total Eclipse.
Built From Scratch, on Columbia in 2001, took that craft to a major label, and its single "It's Goin' Down" slammed scratching into a hard-rocking groove that carried it well beyond hip-hop audiences, and onto rock radio's countdowns. Roc Raida died in 2009, and the group has since carried on with Total Eclipse, DJ Boogie Blind and DJ Precision, with four studio albums to its name.
