Turntablism & DMC Routines (Founding Architect)

JOHNNY CASH (Johnny Cash) is a documented founding architect and original pioneer of [X-EC] The X-Ecutioners (X-Men). Representing New York City, NY / Harlem / Queens, NY, JOHNNY CASH helped shape X-EC's battle wax legacy, hardware craft, and international sound system sessions.

“Originally formed in New York City in 1989 as the X-Men to rival West Coast scratch crews, Grandmaster Roc Raida, Rob Swift, Total Eclipse, and Mista Sinista turned beat juggling into high-impact musical composition and battle warfare.”
