Originally broadcast on WYBC 94.3 FM on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut on longtime DJ Juan Castillo's show - this is a round-table remembrance about the late great Steve 'Stezo' Williams. His sudden passing on April 29th hit the universal hip-hop community from out of nowhere, a truly sad lose. I felt particularly connected to his legacy as I worked on projects over many years between Chris Lowe and Dooley-O, some of his oldest friends. The audio here features Juan Castillo, Dooley-O, Chris Lowe, Superman J of Skinny Boys, Jim Slice, E and Lil E. They share stories and memories from a lifetime of experiences many of which start from childhood. It's a great look back on a kid growing up always thinking way ahead of the his time from fashion, style, to dancing, to music. This brings the casual listener who may only know Stezo's seminal debut to a personal account of much more than just that record. If you know a fan of Stezo's work please shoot them this convo. They will love it. Check out some cool obscure appearances on dooley-o.bandcamp.com - I urge you to check out not only his debut album but dig further to a lot of his songs and videos after that too. He dropped a lot of music over the years worth checking, loads of dope, fly shit. Enjoy and Rest Easy Stezo - Thank you for everything
