Rising Tennessee rapper Big Scarr, who was signed to Gucci Mane’s label 1017 Records, has died at age 22 of undisclosed causes. The wordsmith’s passing was confirmed by Mane in a Thursday Instagram post.
“This hurt — I’m a miss you @bigscarr,” the “Poppin” singer wrote in the tribute, along with a photo gallery of the late lyricist.
As of yet, Big Scarr’s cause and time of death have yet to be revealed, HipHopDx reported.
Born Alexander Woods in Memphis, Tennessee on April 7, 2000, Scarr takes his name from injuries he suffered during a car crash at age 16.
Woods first broke into the hip-hop world in 2020 after getting signed to Gucci Mane’s label 1017 Records. His first commercial project was the New 1017 compilation album “Gucci Mane Presents: So Icy Summer” with “SoIcyBoyz,” which he performed alongside labelmates Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano. He also had the solo track “Make a Play.”
After appearing in another 1017 compilation “So Icy Gang, Vol. 1,” Woods released his first and only official mixtape, titled “Big Grim Reaper,” in 2021, XXL reported. The project included notable tracks such as “SolcyBoyz 2” and “Poppin,” as well as appearances by Gucci Mane, Scarr’s cousin Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano and producer Tay Keith. “BGR” achieved critical acclaim, ranking No. 1 on Rolling Stone’s Breakthrough 25 Chart and peaking at the No. 25 spot on Billboard’s Hot 200 album chart.
Woods’ death sent shockwaves through the hip hop community. “This s–t wicked wtf bruh!!!” tweeted rapper Key Glock, who was reportedly slated to feature Woods on his upcoming Glockoma Tour 2023.

Somebody help me out here. Do the terms ‘rap artist’ and ‘rap sheet’ have a common ancestry?
WTH did I just read? My IQ can’t suffer much of that.
Does it make me un-hep if the first time I hear about a rapper is when he dies?
I've got my pistol pawn cocked
Ready ta lay shots nonstop until I see your monkey ass drop
And let your homies know who done it

No Street Cred for you!
“I dream of living in the Swiss Alps, devoid of “Shisty Pooh” type people...”
Too late. Gangs of them get dropped off by bus at every road pull out, scenic view pull out, restaurant parking lot, and tourist destinations to harass and scam people or try selling
some cheap junk through pressure tactics.
Yep, I can attest to that having been in Switzerland a few months ago.
Beautiful country, though.
Fifty years from now, the world will remember what they were doing when they heard the news of this great artist’s death.
🙄🙄🙄
Word, bro!
(Snicker, snicker)
MAC-10 is a gun and an old rapper.(He is/was Mack-10)
She looks good “busting caps”...
Even in Lucerne and Zermatt?
You could also consider the White Mountains of Vermont.
I hear the gun laws are pretty lenient as well..
I guess wordsmith has a different meaning to me.
Some real high-class literature, there…
Yeats had nothing on this guy.

There was a thread awhile ago where folks were bemoaning the decline of the English language. One freeper commented that language is always changing to create better communications between people.
I think there is a limit though. 5 minutes ago I was reading the rules from Harvard from the 1600’s. Goofy spelling but I could understand it.
“In the publicke Church assembly they shall carefully shunne all gestures that shew any contempt or neglect of Gods ordinances and bee ready...”
But this rap stuff?
