Hip-Hop Royalty: Capital Steez

"Dear diary, what a day it's been." - from Free The Robots

Prior to 2023, if you had asked me who Capital Steez was, I honestly would've drawn a blank.

This isn't a note on the ferocious talent of this young man, but more so an admission of how much of an old ass, I actually am.

But sure enough, in 2023, I became familiar with the music of Steez, and needless to say, I haven't stopped listening, since.

STEEZ was born Courtney Everald Dewar Jr. on July 7th, 1993 in Brooklyn, New York (city). He attended the well known Edward R. Murrow High School.

According to his wiki, STEEZ was a happy kid. Always with a smile on his face, he would don a short afro and skinny jeans.

During the late 2000's, STEEZ co-founded the PRO ERA rap collective with childhood friend and fellow rapper Joey Badass.

Have you ever heard of the Beast Coast Movement? Well, it was (and is) a thing.

Beast Coast Movement

Apparently it was a term that STEEZ used to describe the musical conglomerate that was PRO ERA, Flatbush Zombies, and The Underachievers.

Unfortunately, on December 23rd, 2012, Courtney ended his life.

But, I don't want this entire to piece to be about his passing. I would like to discuss his talent and legacy left on hip hop.

Lol! Apparently, he had a sense of humor, too.

His Music

I always know when a song, particularly a rap song is good, because I'll be listening to it, and say, "This is what I'm talking about!"

It's like when you've been looking for a particular brand of butter for months. Yeah, the others are good and get the job done, but THIS kind of butter makes food fun and nutritious.

That's the feeling I got when I first listened to Apex.

First what I love about this video is how fun it is. I appreciate the jovial, fun energy that's only complimented by half serious, half jokey lyrics.

Maybe I'm biased, because this is one of my favorite types of rap styles.

Also, do you hear that beat?

youtube

Another one I really enjoy listening to is Free The Robots.

Okay, first of all. THIS VIDEO.

This video definitely is giving me liminal space vibes. Anyone else? No?

I really appreciate how there's different clips, and videos from different sources. Feels like STEEZ was trying to convey a message with all the clips arranged like so.

Now, with the music: I feel hypnotized. Just listening to this makes me feel dreamy, but also really really dreary. You ever seen Requiem For A Dream? | Yeah, that kind of dreamy/dreary.

Which is coincidental, because throughout the song, STEEZ mentions how destructive drugs have been to him personally and the world at large.

youtube

Free The Robots

STEEZ also touches on politics, very heavily here, such as 9/11 and certain ways he'd like past presidents to be dealt with. :)

AmeriKKKan Korruption | King Capital

STEEZ posing with left hand over left eye, while draped in a large American flag.

So, there is an album.

Or rather, a mixtape.

Capital STEEZ had released a solo mixtape titled AmeriKKKan Korruption, on April 7th, 2012.

The mixtape contained a total of 14 tracks, although a number of other rappers, producers and PRO ERA members have graciously contributed to its track count.

After his passing, in 2013 there had been an announcement by friend and fellow rapper Joey Badass that a posthumous album, titled King Capital would be released. While a song did come of it (King Steelo), the album King Capital would never actually be released.

On January 2nd, 2018, Joey Badass stated to fans that due to legalities, the album's release would be delayed to later that year.

As of 2024, the project King Capital is still unreleased.

His Legacy

I'm not sure what things would have looked like for STEEZ had he survived throughout the years.

What I will say, is that a talent and voice like he had is desperately needed now. In fact, maybe STEEZ's energy is still alive and well in some other rapper who just may have the talent, but hasn't been tweeted about by XXL.

Maybe we need to begin searching out talented artists, and boosting them up ourselves.

Also, it goes without mentioning, that it was said that STEEZ had been dealing with some emotional battles. I want to say that if you find yourself dealing with emotional, mental issues, getting help doesn't make you weak.

But taking your life doesn't make you weak either. It just means the help you needed didn't arrive on time.

God bless everyone, and long live STEEZ.

Reggae hip-hop Music And R&B mixtape Caribbean America Culture

All music fans across the globe have an artist that they support; some of them purchase all their collection of creation albums and mixtapes.

Hip-hop reggae mixtapes are something many people in the ghetto like to buy because they get a combination of two sounds on a hot new track from some of the best artists in America. Most of them only buy the DJ mix or get free downloads online. When it comes to listening to music, you have people like myself who listen to hip hop and r&b, reggae hip-hop music. Caribbean people that come to America at an early age listen to reggae hip-hop music, and one or more rap artists have their attention. At some point, you just need the right sounds to release the bad vibration.

Reggae music is an excellent source of music for your party. It is a socially conscious music genre that has a message behind it. Reggae music is a great way to express yourself. Reggae music is a mix of many genres, including rock, reggae, dancehall, ska, and dub. You will find most of its artists to be very talented and to have a lot of positive energy that resonates with listeners.

Reggae hip-hop music is blended with roots and street vibes in the club; people dance to all different types of music; in some clubs, they play less dancehall and root reggae; if you are at a hip-hop club, you will hear mostly hip-hop music and R&B. They pay maybe one or five reggae artists only the one they teach to them, and all the other nations do the same.

What happened to the artist that doesn't get any commercial radio play? A nation of people don't know who they are, and they create better music with different types of production. Some of them have fantastic fans that support their projects, but they don't sell millions of records.

.@Bakersteez Turns Up In "Bohemian Whip"

Jamaican Rapper Bakersteez is on different mission since returning from a widely-known Social Media meltdown recently. He shared a collaboration with Skillibeng and ScaleBaby titled, “R U 4 God? YK Now?“, and it looks to take on life outside of the track. Some may believe it’s the title of a new project, but only time will tell. It has appeared again in his new video, “Bohemian Whip“. Taking it…
