But the teenager was adamant that Pro Era be a part of whatever situation they worked out. Suddenly, the crew had the backing of a manager and a promotional team while most of its members were still in high school. For Steez, the connection with Cinematic and the timing, coinciding with his high school graduation, were the first signs that his passion could be more than just a hobby.

He dropped out of the community college in Brooklyn he had enrolled in, telling his family that it was distracting him from his music, and started to hone his image, growing out his dreadlocks and working hard to lose weight, buying a fixed-gear bike that he began to ride everywhere.

Steez also began putting everything into his first solo project, which he planned to release in early Though he already had the rhyming skills, he was also coming into his own as a thinker, developing an anti-establishment view of the world that many teenagers could relate to.

Rey Sanchez says he and Steez were stopped and frisked by NYPD officers at least seven times together, and that Steez had grown increasingly critical of the government and police through those experiences. The two visited the Occupy Wall Street encampment and spent a night at Zuccotti Park, excited by both the ideas that the movement espoused and the more adrenaline-worthy aspects of the demonstration.

As his views became more militant, in person and on Facebook, Steez seemed to relish in his role as an iconoclast. But the thing is, as you grow, this world makes you take your eye off of things like that. As he readied his debut solo mixtape, AmeriKKKan Korruption , he began thinking about a design that he would make into stickers to promote it.

Steez had become fixated on the number 47, which he felt was a perfect expression of balance in the world, representing the tension between the fourth chakra—the heart—and the seventh—the brain. Ever the provocateur, he also put the design in a white circle surrounded by red—the same color scheme used by the Third Reich.

He and his friends began papering the city with the stickers, particularly in the heavily Orthodox neighborhood around Murrow.

He was ready to engage with people who criticized the logo. Steez seemed to enjoy the controversy the sticker caused beyond his Facebook page as well. It was an impressive debut, a track collection of acrobatic lyrics and rich beats, but beneath the wordplay and rhymes was a paranoid visionary commenting on bleak prospects for inner-city youth, US-sponsored violence overseas and what Steez deemed was a coming apocalypse.

Steez was painfully sensitive to the lack of recognition for the project. I wish I got free clothes! Relatable and charming, Joey holds court in front of the group with a microphone that he rarely relinquishes, a kid who clearly enjoys entertaining a crowd. He went on tour anyway, where he had a number of firsts: he did shrooms and lost his virginity, according to his friends, and he went to Canada, where he said to an interviewer that he smoked weed four to seven times a day. Friends say they felt Steez was in a different frame of mind when he returned, and increasingly disillusioned with the rap industry.

As Steez grew increasingly dissatisfied with his foray into industry life, his sense of spirituality also took a turn for the bizarre. He started talking more about dimensional shifts and alchemy, and began identifying with the Baphomet, a half-goat, hermaphroditic idol favored throughout history by practitioners of the occult.

The winged figure, which some say is neither benevolent nor wicked, is often depicted with both breasts and a phallus, the body of a human but the head of a beast, pointing up with one hand to a bright moon and down towards a dark moon with the other.

His Facebook page lit up with hundreds of comments after he changed his profile picture to images of the Baphomet twice in July of But how exactly it was working on his mind remains a mystery.

Steez had always cultivated an air of privacy that prevented even his best friends from knowing exactly what was going on inside his head. The idea that the world would end according to the Mayan calendar on December 21, was a joke to many, but some practitioners of New Age theology took the prediction seriously.

Steez felt that something was coming too, making references on Facebook to things like hatching, doomsday and a coming global paradigm shift.

In early November, a few days after Hurricane Sandy struck New York, he met up with Jared Harari, one of his friends from elementary school. As they walked to a bus stop where they would say what would be their final goodbyes, Steez said something that gave his friend pause. So it was running through my mind, What the fuck is gonna happen? Steez had also been talking about a coming event that was going to affect everything, according to a good friend of his who lived in Los Angeles at the time, Linda Hansen.

Around the last week of his life, Steez had even withdrawn from his closest friend at the time, Rey Sanchez. He blew up when someone asked him to sign a T-shirt and no one brought him a Sharpie. A couple of videos from the event show Steez looking completely dazed, slurring his words, eyes half-closed. The next night, Steez and the group were at Premier Studios, the studio Cinematic was using in Midtown.

One of the people present, who has asked to remain anonymous, says that Steez told some of the Pros that he was thinking of killing himself by jumping off the building where Cinematic had its offices. A handful of Pros tried to talk him out of it. It was like too late. He made up his mind already.

Nobody seems to know exactly what happened with Steez the next day. According to Tamara, Steez was home all day, but left the house in the evening.

Dewar had gone to sleep thinking her son was at home, according to Tamara, but awoke later that night, when one of the Pros showed up at the door, worried and looking for Steez.

Dewar immediately called a suicide hotline; a police report notes a call was placed around AM. Hansen says she called Sanchez that night around 1AM as the worry about Steez began to spread. He sped out with a friend in a car, and met up with the rest of the Pros there.

He said the group scoured the park in the dark for about an hour and a half. Dewar gave the officer some pictures of Steez, should they encounter him somewhere in the city. They said he had jumped in the moments after midnight.

Shortly beforehand, Steez had texted Hansen, telling her that he was about to smoke. Steez had been as purposeful in his death as he had been in his life. A guard at the building told me Steez was let in—he counted as an employee—and at some point walked up to the roof he used to freestyle on with his friends on better days. Witnesses reported seeing the body lying in the middle of the street shortly after midnight.

It is a beautiful rap song, a befuddling poem that alternates between his nostalgia for his younger days rapping with Jahkari Jack as kids and resignation about his entry into the adult world. He seems to be saying that the two were the same to him. He ends the track sounding weary of life, and wistful for his childhood with Jack.

We spent a few hours talking as the fall evening floated by. He had been home for the holidays when he was awoken by his sister and mother in the middle of the night before Christmas Eve.
