Busta Rhymes announced today through his twitter that legendary Roc Raida has passed away:

I am sorry 2 say that on this day at 2:05 Sept 19th we lost another incredible life…Dj Roc Raida died 2day my personal Dj is gone… I just wanna thank everyone 4 ur love and support and ur prayers…We will never let ur name die Roc…We love u and will 4ever miss u…RIP.

According to initial reports, Roc was in a martial arts related accident last month and injured his spine. He had undergone two successful surgeries but died today due to complications.

I had the chance to meet Roc Raida a couple of times over the past few years, and he was always happy and so full of life. He was humble and nice and loved doing what he did best; DJing.

He will be missed by anyone who met and knew him and by all of his fans and the Hip-Hop community. He is survived by 3 daughters and a wife.

REST IN PEACE DJ ROC RAIDA
