This is definitely not the kind of news we want to be reporting on X-mas eve, but our hearts go out to the family, friends, and fans of Pro era member, Capital Steez. Earlier this morning, Joey Bada$$ and Chuck Strangers tweeted about the tragic news. His cause of death is not yet known, however, his last tweet: “The End” have some to believe he may have taken his own life. A big rest in peace goes out to Capital Steez.

RIP CAPITAL STEEZ!!! 7.7.93 – 12.24.12
