  • The death of Capital STEEZ in 2012 is surrounded by mystery and many conspiracy theories. STEEZ was the founder of the rap group Pro Era and collaborated with Joey Bada$$ on their breakout track Survival Tactics. Steelo was very spiritually focused and towards the end of his life, it became hard for those around him to understand certain beliefs that he carried.

    I believe there was more to his death than just a “47” symbol. he could had some kind of mental health issue maybe depression that no one knew about or some other kind of problem he might had been going through. the day of his death is interesting knowing the dates add up to 47 which is weird & that he was clenching a bible to his chest but we won’t actually know for sure. he had some great traccs & was very lyrical compared to everyone else in the group. R.I.P steez 47 4 lyfe 🕊️

    He was also smoking weed, taking psychedelics, and constantly immersing himself in spirituality, especially the 47 philosophy. All of that could have affected his mental state in ways we may never fully understand.

    I was just talking to my friend about Steelo. I said that I think given time, and a community that fosters love and openness to share your vulnerabilities, he'd still be with us. And I know the same could be said for countless others. Yeah he got caught up in some weird stuff and on top of that probably had some mental issues. But the kid was only 19 years old. I thought some wacky stuff at that age too. Not to say all spirituality is wacky, just his obsession with 47 and Baphomet and whatnot. The young man was a genius and he just needed time to figure stuff out. To all the young people out there, talk to your friends. And ask them how they're doing. Young men especially cuz I know we're taught to hold that shit in. It takes strength to let it out, and it takes strength to receive it. We can do it y'all 💪 one love ❤️

    Capital Steez was definitely a blood sacrifice for Joe Badass. He pushed off the roof, just like Lady Gaga's best friend, Lina Morgana, was pushed off a roof. He definitely didn't commit suicide. Capital Steez was too woke for the music industry, which was why Cinematic Records didn't want to push his career. Old Dirty Bastard being too woke is the reason he was the only member from the Wu-Tang Clan who taken out! Eerily, Capital Steez was starting to resemble Jacob "Killer" Miller during the early stages of converting into Rastafarianism. Everyone in Jamaica knows Bob Marley and Christopher Blackwell had something to do with Jacob Miller's passing.

I also run his fan community and archive so I can give u a lot of background details regarding his come up, family and also facts surrounding his passing because there is a lot of speculation around it. Chase seemed very happy and excited to release his album Ronald and he would go up to a building to watch the stars at night, in the Burberry music video you can see him up on the rooftops. People framed his death as him taking his life but in reality he seemed to be doing well and had sent his album Ronald to distributors already
