Legendary hip hop female DJ K Swift died this morning (July 21) at her home in Baltimore, Maryland after a swimming pool accident, according to reports by Allhiphop.com.
K-Swift (born Khia Edgerton) began DJ’ing at the young age of 11, and became a pioneer on Baltimore’s popular Radio One station 92Q Jams, where she rose to Female Mix Show Coordinator, the only female in the country to hold such a title.
The young DJ also was a member of the Violator-All Star DJ Coalition, as well as a member of the all female squad the Murda Mamis, and just appeared at Baltimore’s annual Artscape Music Festival this past Saturday (July 19).
"I'm at a loss for words right now,” Murda Mami founder 1st Lady El told AllHipHop.com. “K-Swift was not only one of my Murda Mami sisters, she was a great friend. She knocked down doors for women in this industry, so humble and hard working…She will be missed."
A business woman in her own right, K-Swift owned Club Queen Entertainment, a graphics management and production company which produced a variety of hit club music albums within the Baltimore area including Club Queen Vol. 1-6 and The K-Swift EP.
K-Swift was 29-years-old.
