 SLTrib Utah City Guide - Entertainment Articles - X-Ecutioners keep the DJs at the center of their music
In the quarter-century that hip-hop has been in the public eye, it has evolved from groups consisting of a rapper and a DJ into a genre where traditional DJs, break-dancers and graffiti artists are hard to find among all the jewelry, cars and bouncing booties filling rap videos.
Swift, Roc Raida and Total Eclipse work out intricate routines that feature body contortions and finger play that is hard to believe, with each DJ treating his two turntables as an instrument and songs being built up in a series of traded "riffs" among the players, just like a jazz combo or hippie jam-band might.
Competition between DJs, rappers, dancers and graffiti artists during hip-hop's adolescence kept the genre from stagnating, and that same competition still drives Swift and his peers in the X-Ecutioners, sometimes even within the confines of the group.
