U.S. Advancement Class and Western Hemisphere Scratching Championships and owns his own Record Label, Styluswars.

| The Architect Exclusive Video - Rob Swift’s New Album |
|
 |
In case you didn’t already know, Rob Swift (one of the original members of the X-Ecutioners & a teacher at Scratch) is dropping his new album The Architect next month. The majority of his projects have always maintained a heavy jazz influence, but this new experimental album incorporates a fusion with classical music. It’s gonna be crazy. You can also check out his internet radio show: Dope On Plastic.
Check out Exclusive Video Footage from The Architect.

Before you start gearing up for all the hot new music in 2010, we thought it was important to recap on 2009 to be sure you got an earful of all the good music the year had to offer. We asked our DJs for their favorite tracks and albums from last year. If you don’t have these hits, then get your iTunes game on!
