Big Scarr, an up-and-coming rapper signed to Gucci Mane‘s New 1017 Records, has died. He was just 22 years old.
News of the Memphis rapper’s death began circulating on social media around 7:00 p.m. EST on Thursday (December 22). Gucci Mane later confirmed his passing in an Instagram post.
“This hurt [crying emoji] I’m a miss you @bigscarr [broken heart emoji],” Gucci wrote alongside a carousel of photos of Big Scarr.
A time or cause of death have not yet been revealed.
Big Scarr (real name Alexander Woods) made his commercial debut on The New 1017 compilation album Gucci Mane Presents: So Icy Summer in July 2020 with “SoIcyBoyz” alongside labelmates Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano; and the solo track “Make A Play.” Scarr held the distinction of being one of only three artists to appear on a track alone across the entire project.
The same year, Big Scarr was involved in a near fatal shooting where, according to his official website, he was shot in the hip after which the bullet traveled to his chest. “I was moving, so the bullet kept moving too,” he’s quoted as explaining in his bio. “The doctors had to split me down the middle to save me. My insides got messed up, and they had to remove my appendix, so I could walk again. I recovered and bounced back way quicker than I thought though.”
Big Scarr appeared on one more 1017 compilation, So Icy Gang, Vol. 1, before releasing his debut mixtape, 2021’s Big Grim Reaper, which featured appearances by Gucci, Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano and producer Tay Keith. The project went on to peak at the No. 25 position on Billboard’s Hot 200 album chart and No. 1 on Rolling Stone’s Breakthrough 25 Chart.
Big Grim Reaper also earned the newcomer his first Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and set the tone for accolades to come in 2022.
Following the release of Big Grim Reaper: The Return in February, Big Scarr landed a spot in the coveted 2022 XXL Freshman Class, thanks the support of fans who voted for him to be the list’s 10th featured artist.
In November, Big Scarr announced that he was scheduled to appear at Rolling Lound LA in March, which would have marked his second time performing at the traveling festival after having hit the stage at Rolling Loud New York in September.
Earlier this month, he announced his first national tour, opening for Key Glock on his Glockoma Tour, which is set to kick off on March 5.
HipHopDX extends its condolences to Big Scarr’s loved ones and the 1017 Records family.
Excellent news, another Black scumbag off the streets just before Christmas, only to be replaced by dozens of other Black scumbags who also should’ve been aborted. I’m sure he was killed by racist white cops and global warming!!!
Still butthurt about that genetic inferiority, eh?
Sounds like someone gave your mom some black penis,I hope she can recover.
Maybur evil heart be healed in Jesus name amen
Shut your white faggot ass up bitch
I never understand why people reply to this clown, your replies are his end goal. If nobody acknowledged this pos he would get bored
Oh he’s already bored
Some “black scumbag” must have fucked yo’ wife n baby mama doggystlye in her mouth
There’s 2 sad things with this.
1) Anyone replying to an obvious f boy trolling for attention.
2) The funniest one is someone calling you white as an insult. I’m not white but they have been winning for a long time. You went further and said “white faggot” and that’s even more sad. Grow up bud, stop feeding into race baiting bs. Half my family is white and they are not hating. RIP Big Scarr
You are a fucked up individual. RACISTS AT IT’S BEST
Hahaha which genetics… the one to kill each other, cry about it and then do the same on repeat. Or the one do sell drugs and by jewelry and guns instead of investing….. and of course kill your ppl again…. Oh and then blame everybody but yourself…. These genetics ?
Watch another white dude shoot up a school.
I’m probably whiter than you, btw. Stfu.
Lol genetic inferiority. Meanwhile black people have no power throughout almost the entire world, Africa is still mostly dirt, you’re ugly as a race, statistically dumber, may I go on? You are good at basketball and have “rhythm”. Woooow
Some of you need to get yourself together
Business as usual in Hip-Hop now, unfortunately.
Rest in Piss!
May you rest in piss!
Really this is a big loss for Gucci mane he lost a member of his label
You a bixch and may you and your rest in chit n piss you miserable azz fukboy.
No one caught the reference then??
Handling business affairs in the music industry 45 years now, I started my career very young and was blessed to see and work with some of the worlds Best and Real Gangsta Rappers. Started with Rock n Roll bands that still sell out arenas and oversea Festivals where over 100K fans is normal. This was the same when I worked with legendary R&B, male and female, even worked with a couple of Country Artists that were the first to cross over to Country Pop. Nashville was not happy at the time until they saw the bottom line of their ROI and balance sheets. However Still to this Day as I write this, and I speak also for some of the Major Power Brokers of Hollywood (major labels) before imprints were conceived, WestCoast and Dre with the Infamous G-Funk sound, cats are still bang’n today and will in another 30 years. Respect for EastCoast also. Some of these artists we took from slinging dope and gang banging straight into the mainstream of the music industry and signed many to incredible deals long before the internet existed, we worried about the language after the FCC fined us and tried to shut us down Lol. Many of you should already know I am speaking of still to this day the Label that started Gangsta Rap in the public eye. Death Row Records founded by The D.O.C. Suge Knight and Dr.Dre with a silent partner known as Harry O.
There were diss albums, more singles against the East by Pac and Biggie, along with Snoop and others. Stop it, Hell NO, you pour Gas on that MARKETING Tool because it helped us sell 50 million Records WorldWide in the first 4 years. What you would NEVER see, is all you Disrespectful POS dissing on a young rapper no matter how he passed or was shot. Keep posting and hating on cats you probably knew them through their music, pretty sure they did not know who you Ignorant Mother Fuckers are. Some ones son was killed or died. Have some decency, in fact to the DX COMMUNITY, show some respect and do not even post these lowlife haters. Here are some facts of life, I could careless what you think of me or my statement. FYI I am Sicilian, its no secret in the world how we have been labeled, We never would disrespect you. Plus you would never hear us coming, Period. Suge is still my dear friend in a fucked up place and we are still tight. Suge had your back long before the inception of Death Row Records, only miserable people would write such ignorance. You can change your life and accomplish Anything if you want it bad enough and hang with positive successful people. Success breeds Success. Misery loves company! RIP Big Scarr, may your familia always live in Gods loving care. Gucci Maine thanks for giving real talent a chance, keep it going…
Nice fan fiction. Weirdo. Is this what the kids call cosplay? Your lie means you would be a millionaire that’s 65 posting on this sites comment section over Gucci’s homies death. LOL. Sure.
LOL. Sicilian. The mob no longer exists. Also, the DX community? It’s basically the capitol riot crowd. Death Row was FAR from the first gangster rap label, or even considered such by the public. Ruthless was we’re Dre and N.W.A. started. Raps-A-Lot with Geto Boys in TX were a few. Your story seems to be just that. Fictitious. Weirdo. He said “won’t see us coming.” LOL. Sicilian ninjas on the prowl.
Greetings to All. I don’t know this young man & beautiful soul. Blessings us with a distinct talent of singing. May God wrap is unconditional loving arms around his family. While this young soul is resting in the bosom arms of GOD almighty.
Happy Holidays to ALL
