Pretty Fly for a Dead Guy
45min - Cold Squad is notified when forensics matches a car found at the bottom of a lake to paint chips found on the victim of a fatal hit and run three years ago. Jeff Steeves aka “Vulse G”, an up and coming black Hip Hop artist based in Vancouver, was leaving a late night recording session when he was run over and left for dead. The black community was outraged when the police were unable to solve the case, alleging that if a white man had been killed, there would be no hesitation in finding the killer. The controversy smeared the police in the press but served as a great promotional tool for Steeves’ posthumously released debut album. It received immediate critical acclaim and financial success for Steeves’ producer and best friend, Craig Toms aka “Desa-Cr8”, who seized the opportunity to become a front man and release his own albums. Three years later, Desa-Cr8, a former drug dealer, is bigger than Puff Daddy and Madonna combined.
