Sad news to report

Khia Edgerton, Baltimore's 92Q Jams radio DJ K-Swift, has died after sustaining a head injury in a swimming pool accident. Edgerton was 27 years old.

Edgerton was taken to Baltimore's Good Samaritan Hospital, where she was pronounced dead Monday morning.

Edgerton, better known to fans in Baltimore as "K-Swift," began DJing at the age of 11 after being influenced by Cocoa Channel and Jazzy Joyce. At age 18, Edgerton was offered an internship at Radio One of Baltimore's 92Q Jams, the city's top hip-hop radio station.

Since then, "K-Swift" has become one of the biggest DJs in Baltimore while working for 92Q Jams. Once she became a full time DJ with 92Q, she began taking over the night show from 6-10 p.m. with her co-host Reggie Reg. The show became the top night radio show in Baltimore.

In addition, K-Swift, Baltimore's only female DJ, rose to Female Mix Show Coordinator at 92Q Jams, becoming the only female in the country to hold the title.

"K-Swift" is a member of two well-respected DJ cliques, Violator All Star DJ Coalition and the all-female squad Murda Mamis.

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.

Details on her specific cause of death have yet to be released.
