I’m deeply saddened by the loss of Khia “Dj K-Swift” Edgerton. She died yesterday from injuries related to a broken neck. Apparently, she had a pool party late last night and an accident occured where she mustve fallen or slipped, breaking her neck. Details regarding the accident haven’t been completely disclosed.

Ever since 1998, when she was a BIG girl mixin it up at Generation Xtremes and Western/Poly parties, she’s been my favorite DJ out of Baltimore. Noone compares to the Club Queen. There will never be another Club Queen. She opened doors for so many people. She was the first female DJ that I ever even knew!

If I was ever asked who were the hottest DJs in Bmore I would always reply “Dj K-Swift…” followed by “umm…uhh….” That’s how serious she had the game on lock. This is a terrible loss for the 92Q family and for Baltimore.

Popular female DJ K-Swift died this morning (July 21) in a swimming pool accident in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland AllHipHop.com has learned.

K-Swift, born Khia Edgerton, was just 28-years-old, at the time of her death, although she started DJ’ing at the age of 11, due to the influence of other pioneering DJ’s like Cocoa Channel and Jazzy Joyce.

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.

“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. Legendary in the club music scene and the number one DJ in Baltimore. She will be missed.”

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.”
