I don’t know if I even believe this, or more to the point, if I want to believe this. Reportedly PRO ERA rapper Capital Steez took his own life a few days ago. He was, in my opinion, the strongest rapper from the aforementioned crew of steady up ‘n comers but more than that, he was a someone’s son, someone’s friend, someone’s cousin, someone’s brother and it’s heart breaking to see this sort of thing happen.
There’s not much to go off other than constant tweets from fellow PRO ERA member Joey Bada$$ which I’ll not get into too deeply here and now but if you want more on it, go scope Joey’s twitter feed.
This unfortunate xmas eve.. Lost a best friend, a brother, a pro, a partner. Letting go is never easy.. May ur soul rest in peace Jamal..

I can’t help but wonder what could have been. Seriously. Nineteen years old.
