Happy birthday to Capital Steez, who would have been 33 today.⁠ ⁠

Steez founded Pro Era with producer Powers Pleasant, coming up with the idea on the way home from one of his early Brooklyn shows. Joey Bada$$ and CJ Fly rounded out the group's founding core shortly after. His freestyles were always dense with wordplay, even when he was clearly just riffing off the top of his head.⁠ ⁠

RIP Capital Steez 🕊️
