 C.E.B. stands for Cool Eaze Boob; Cool is from Cool C, Eaze is from (DJ      
 Ultimate) Eaze and Boob is from Steady B aka MC Boob.                        
 Produced by Warren Sabir McGlone (Steady B).                                 
 Steady B, along with Schoolly D, The Fresh Prince, and Three Times Dope,     
 was one of the first wave of Philadelphia-area MCs to gain notoriety in the  
 mid-to-late 1980s. Steady B was a member (and de facto leader) of            
 Philadelphia's Hilltop Hustlers crew. His musical career was relatively      
 short-lived, and he is currently serving a life sentence in a Pennsylvania   
 state prison for his role in the murder of Philadelphia Police officer       
 Lauretha Vaird during a botched bank robbery in 1996.                        
 Steady B's original DJ was Grand Dragon K.D., later replaced by DJ Tat       
 Money, who later became the DJ for Kwame and a New Beginning. Steady B and   
 Grand Dragon K.D. released a few early hip hop 12" singles on the Pop Art    
 label in 1985. These included "Take Your Radio" (an answer record to LL      
 Cool J's "I Can't Live Without My Radio"), "Fly Shante" featuring Roxanne    
 Shante, and "Just Call Us Def". He released five albums over the course of   
 his career, with mixed success.                                              
 In 1991, Steady B formed the hardcore hip hop group C.E.B. with fellow       
 local Philadelphia MCs Cool C and Ultimate Eaze, in an effort to update his  
 style and record sales. The trio released its only album, "Countin' Endless  
 Bank", on Ruffhouse Records in 1993. The single "Get the Point" reached no.  
 5 on Billboard's Hot Rap Singles. The album was poorly received.             
 On January 2, 1996, at around 8:20 a.m., Christopher Roney aka "Cool C" and  
 Warren McGlone aka "Steady B", and their accomplice Mark Canty, another      
 local Philadelphia rapper, attempted to rob a PNC Bank branch in             
 Feltonville, Philadelphia, at 4710 Rising Sun Avenue. The men had stolen a   
 green minivan for the job which was driven by McGlone who acted as the       
 getaway driver. Roney and Canty went into the branch before it was due to    
 open. Canty carried a 9 millimeter semi-automatic handgun and Roney was      
 armed with a .38 caliber revolver. The bank had no security guards, which    
 influenced the men to rob that particular branch. They held three bank       
 employees at gunpoint and demanded access to the bank vault. Within moments  
 of entering the bank, the silent alarm was tripped. Officer Lauretha Vaird,  
 who was in the area at the time and riding alone in a patrol car, responded  
 to the alarm.                                                                
 Canty forced two of the bank employees to take him to the vault while Roney  
 stood guard by the bank entrance covering the third employee. As Vaird       
 entered the door to the bank with her weapon drawn, she was shot in the      
 abdomen by Roney. Vaird was wearing a bulletproof vest, but it was without   
 its bullet-resistant panels. After he shot her, Roney left the bank through  
 the front door. Canty fled through a side entrance and left his gun at the   
 scene.                                                                       
 Roney then exchanged fire with another police officer, Donald Patterson,     
 who arrived shortly after Vaird. Roney was able to escape and dropped his    
 gun on the sidewalk outside the entrance to the bank. He got into the        
 minivan with McGlone and the two men then fled. None of the three suspects   
 stole anything from the bank. Vaird was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital  
 for Children, where she was pronounced dead at 9:56 am, having been killed   
 by the single shot to the abdomen.                                           
 The two pistols used by the assailants were found separately outside         
 different entrances to the bank. The stolen minivan that Roney and McGlone   
 had escaped in was found abandoned about a mile from the bank. The police    
 also found various items of clothing used as disguises by Canty and Roney.   
 This evidence led to their warrants and arrests. The guns were traced back   
 to both Canty and McGlone. The .38 caliber revolver used by Roney belonged   
 to Anthony Brown, a relative of Canty. It had been stolen from Brown and     
 was last seen in Canty's possession before the bank robbery. The 9mm         
 semi-automatic pistol was traced back to Richelle Parker, a friend of        
 McGlone, who had bought the gun for him.                                     
 McGlone was arrested outside his home two days later on January 4, 1996. He  
 was charged with murder in the death of officer Vaird. After questioning     
 McGlone, police issued a warrant for the arrests of Canty and Roney. Canty   
 was arrested during a traffic stop in Maryland at a later date. Roney        
 surrendered to the police on January 6, 1996.                                
 At his trial, the State presented evidence, including testimony from Steady  
 B's wife, that Steady B, Cool C, and Canty met at Steady B'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 B's trial. On October 30, 1996,   
 Steady B was convicted of the second-degree murder of Officer Vaird. On      
 December 13, 1996, he was sentenced to life imprisonment without the         
 possibility of parole.                                                       
 Cool C was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death by        
 lethal injection. On January 10, 2006, his death warrant was signed by       
 Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and his execution date was set for March    
 9, 2006. He was granted a stay of execution from Pennsylvania Judge Gary     
 Glazer on February 1, 2006, until all post-conviction litigation is          
 resolved. His execution was set for January 8, 2015, but he was once again   
 granted a stay of execution from Pennsylvania Judge Luis Felipe Restrepo on  
 December 5, 2014. He is currently an inmate at the State Correctional        
 Institution - Phoenix in Skippack Township, Montgomery County,               
 Pennsylvania.
