“We’re gonna have a great time in honor of the life of my brother Capital STEEZ,” Joey wrote via Instagram.
Recently, Bada$$ spoke with HipHopDX about his relationship with Steez.
“I was a leader my whole life, but when I met Capital Steez he was the first person I ever followed,” Bada$$ told DX. “What I seen in him was an older me. He was the only person I ever met where I felt like, ‘Alright, following behind this guy won’t get me into anything bad.”
