Big Scarr’s story is one of talent, loyalty, and tragedy. The Memphis rapper, who was also the cousin of Pooh Shiesty, landed his deal with Gucci Mane after Pooh Shiesty personally vouched for him. That co-sign opened the door to the 1017 Records camp and put Big Scarr on a fast track in the rap game.
But what should’ve been the beginning of a legendary run turned into another heartbreaking chapter. In December 2022, Big Scarr tragically passed away from a reported drug overdose, shocking fans and reigniting conversations around the dark pattern surrounding the 1017 label. Over the years, many artists tied to the camp have either ended up incarcerated or lost their lives, fueling rumors of a so-called “curse” that continues to follow the label.
Big Scarr had the look, the voice, and the streets behind him. His rise was real, his buzz was undeniable, and his loss left a major void in Memphis hip-hop. This story goes deeper than music—it’s about pressure, addiction, loyalty, and how fast success can turn into tragedy.
Watch the full breakdown as we dive into Big Scarr’s rise, his connection to Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane, and the unsettling history that keeps haunting 1017. 👀🔥
