R.I.P. Khia "DJ K-Swift" Edgerton, 1978-2008



I woke up to this text message from Fredlocks from Mic Life magazine:

"Just heard from a reliable source that K-Swift just died at Good Samaritan Hospital from a head injury sustained from a swimming pool accident."

And now there are already dozens of R.I.P. messages on her MySpace page, so I guess it's true. This is shocking, tragic news. I just saw her DJ at Artscape on Saturday night. This is a huge loss to the Baltimore club music community.

7/22/08 EDIT: I have corrected K-Swift's year of birth from 1980 to 1978. She was 29.

Man fuk dat payola shit, aint nobody life worth this music shit man, I never hated swift on a personal level behind that shit, and im sure no one else did either. first we lost Mr. Wilson who opened the doors and got these street niggaz heard and swift opened them doors for the club niggaz...now she gone...so what now?
 
Ahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People are worrying about the wrong things that mess is not going anywhere this is another child with no mother a mother lost a child and a host of family and friends lost a good role model thats whats important. All that other shit is irrelevent! Good bles her family and everyone in her circle i didnt listen to k swift but i just seen her at the wayne show and she was definately doing her thing! RIP
 
I don't like to delete or censor comments on this site, but I will delete any hostile or insensitive comments regarding K-Swift for the time being. A lot of family, friends and fans are in mourning right now, and this isn't the time for people to be petty and mean-spirited.
 
Wow, my heart just sunk. I discovered B-more club music in college....stole my friend's K-Swift Vol. 4 CD and it blew me away. I'm still bangin that CD, and I can't believe K. Swift won't be around to rock the wheels of steel anymore. All love respect and healing power goes out to the family and friends of this DJ legend.
 
I just saw 11 news at noon and it was breaking news, I said to myself are you fucking serious, I cant beleive it, I still cant. Im in shock like everyone else. This shit aitn gonna be the same, she was a legend on those tables in the club to the station.
And for the dude that said "aint nobody life worth this music shit", are you kidding me, that had nothin to do with it. It was a personal accident. Get the facts straight man before you start hatin. Something happened while she was in a pool early this morning around 2am. so fuck off.
For Swift, you will be missed, shit aint gonna be the same. I'll still be in shock no matter how many times I hear it. R.I.P.
 
Damn, son. I don't care about the payola, or any of that shit. Whatever you have to say negative about K-Swift, you can't deny that she was the shit and was deserving of the title of "Club Queen" (and you know, someone just died, man!). I'm just still blown about this. I remember the first time I heard club music. It was on her show (back when Reggie Reg was still on 92Q) and I instantly became a fan. Damn, man.
I guess God needed a DJ.
 
Damn thats a blower I'm still shock about her passing!!!! Kenneth
 
YOU WILL BE MISSED.

To all of the fans (all of the younger high schoolers and middle schoolers) please stay positive, you are the future and WE NEED you. You never know when your gonna get called so make sure you live some kinda right.

Self love

K-Swift will be missed and I wish all of her fiends fans and family my condolences.
 
I can't believe somebody so fucking petty and stupid had something to say about this woman. She lost her LIFE! Her family lost someone important to them. K-Swift was a good person and she most defanitly did her thing when it came down to those wheels and she handeled her business.. I will miss you K..Hold it down for us up there..I'll see you and Wilson when my time is called.. Take care babygirl!
