It saddens us to report that Jamal Dewar aka Capital STEEZ, a talented young rap artist from the Pro Era crew, died early this morning, just days after the release of their celebrated PEEP: The Aprocalypse mixtape. He was 19 years old. Details are sketchy right now in terms of the exact cause of death, but his fellow Pro Era crew member and friend Joey Bada$$ sent a series of tweets early this morning sharing the heartbreaking news. See Joey's tweets below, as well as STEEZ's final tweet.
