The story of Capital Steez is a similar tragedy to that of any young man or woman who is lost at such a devastatingly young age--his future is filled with blanks that will never be filled in. He is one of the toughest rappers of the last decade, if not any decade, to assess.
How do you analyze and contextualize the career of a man who never released a full-length album, barely had the chance to rap over original production or record in a studio, and passed away before he had even turned 20 years old?
As the years go by and the world moves forward, nothing can touch him or change him. He’s forever the 19-year old prodigy he was in 2012, with the scruffy hairstyle, the easy smile, the smooth-as-butter flow, and the youthful idealism frozen in history forever.
