Markus Deon Steward, an independent hip-hop artist known to his family as 'Champ' and his friends by 'Stew,' is showcased in a new music video that combines several of his creative and musical efforts.
The project is being released posthumously, as Stew passed away on August 13, 2015. He was twenty four years old. This new music video is an elegant combination of three videos that Stew released on YouTube in 2014.
The endeavor includes a freestyle video of a studio track 'Player Made,' a video of
Stew collaborating with fellow hip hop performer Bug$y, and finally, a video of Stew and his friends entitled '#WalkingRaps.'
Each of the three videos incorporated into this new release showcase a poignant part of Stew's artistry and life. Music wasn't a hobby for Stew – it was a lifestyle and a calling. He toiled endlessly in the studio to build a future in the industry and he is well-remembered as an extremely intelligent, creative, and talented young man. His signature phrase, "Chooo!" would always make an appearance at any live gig he performed.
