Yo What Ever Happened To Steady B????

Yo, I know you remember my man Steady B. I can hear that joint right now. You remember that joint. That joint called "Serious". I'm just holding myself back right now from standing up at this desk and doing that damn dance that I saw the dancers doing while Steady B and KRS spit into the mics. "I was listening to BDP when suddenly........".

Steady B was born Warren McGlone. This cat was one of the original emcees to come out of Illadelphia. Steady B and the rest of that first group paved the way for groups like the Roots, and put Philly on the map. Steady went on to release five albums as a solo artist signed to Jive records. These albums didn't receive national recognition or fame, but to true hip hop heads they are definitely a part of our cultures history.

Steady B went on to form C.E.B with a couple of his homies from Philly. This group included Cool C and Ultimate Eaze, and in 1992 they released their only album together, Countin' Endless Bank. The album had one single, called "Get the Point", that was actually pretty damn funky and reached #5 on Billboards Hot Rap Singles. If you watch the video that was released with this song it actually begins with a prison and courthouse scene that seems eerily ironic. The C.E.B album didn't cause any ruckus in the rap world and the three brothas from Philly were in a music standstill.

Apparently times weren't as glamorous as Steady B and Cool C wanted them to be in 1996. Something happened, and according to police, the two were involved in a botched bank robbery in Philadelphia. During the robbery, a female police officer was shot and killed. Gats left behind at the scene led police back to Steady B and Cool C. The two were arrested for the murder and both stood trial. Steady B was found guilty of second degree murder and was then sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of ever getting parole. He is currently in a Pennsylvania State Prison serving his sentence. Cool C was sentenced to death by lethal injection and was scheduled to be executed in March of 2006 but was granted a stay of execution in February of the same year.
