After being paralyzed in a shooting late last year, Bay Area rapper Kafani has been on the road to recovery. Now he has taken the next step to getting back to as normal a life as possible.

This week Kafani ditched the wheelchair and tried out a brand new, state-of-the-art walking suit which, along with some crutches, essentially gives the paralyzed the ability to walk again.

With his doctor accompanying every step of the way, watch Kafani take the first steps since the day he was tragically shot.
