In 1991, Steady B formed the hardcore rap group C.E.B., with fellow, local Philadelphia rappers Cool C and Ultimate Eaze, in an effort to update his style, and record sales. C.E.B.'s name wasa backronym for "Countin' Endless Bank", but was also an acronym for the names of the group's three members. The trio released their only album Countin' Endless Bank on Ruffhouse Records in 1992. The single "Get the Point" reached #5 on Billboard's Hot Rap Singles. The album was poorly received, and Steady B faded into musical obscurity. On January 2, 1996, Steady B, along with C.E.B. band mate Cool C, and another local Philadelphia rapper, Mark Canty, attempted a bank robbery at a PNC bank branch in Philadelphia. During the botched heist, where Steady B served as the getaway driver in a stolen minivan, Philadelphia Police Officer Lauretha Vaird, who responded to the bank's silent alarm, was shot and killed by Cool C. Officer Vaird, an African-American woman and the single mother of two children, was the first female Philadelphia Police officer slain in the line of duty. Steady B was arrested at his apartment shortly after the bank robbery. Two handguns left at the scene by Cool C and Canty, including the murder weapon, were traced back to Steady, and he eventually confessed his role in the crimes to police during interrogation. At his trial, the State presented evidence, including testimony from Steady's wife, that Steady B, Cool C, and Canty met at Steady's apartment shortly after the robbery, where they watched media coverage of the event on television, and discussed their escape. Incriminating statements by Canty were also admitted into evidence at Steady's trial.
