Big Scarr Delivers First Posthumous Album “The Secret Weapon”

by

Big Scarr’s Posthumous album The Secret Weapon has dropped today. 1017 Records released the 17-track work nearly two months after Big Scarr’s tragic death. The Secret Weapon features Gucci Mane, Key Glock, Pooh Shiesty, Enchanting, and Seddy Hendrinx. As a whole, the southern hip-hop artist left behind a worthy drop of hard-hitting trap tunes that reflects on his life both in and out of the streets.

With punch, flow, and style, Big Scarr exemplified his versatile rap capabilities throughout The Secret Weapon. His smooth and deep voice takes the spotlight in songs like “Straight Like That” and “I’m Him,” with emphasis on his effortless bars. From one song to the other, the track list flows seamlessly, amounting to a soundtrack of Big Scarr’s life. In “Try Being Me,” the late-rapper leaves a haunting message: “no, they ain’t stoppin’ my legacy.”

Big Scarr Leaves Behind His Legacy

Just in December, Big Scarr was found dead after an allegedly accidental overdose of prescription pills. 1017 Founder Gucci took to Instagram this week to announce that Big Scarr’s last work would be released. In the announcement, Gucci wrote, “I hate that he’s not here to celebrate this great body of work that he worked so hard on!” The release follows an emotional battle between Gucci and Big Scarr’s family members, who claimed he left them dry over funeral bills.

Gucci also leaves a message for Big Scarr’s remembrance in their track, “Trappin n Rappin.” He starts the track off with “long live the legend, my secret weapon, Big Scarr.” Gucci first signed big Scarr in 2020, and the duo exclusively worked together throughout the Tennessee-born rapper’s short-lived career. Work on the album had commenced prior to the rapper’s unfortunate demise. The Secret Weapon is available to stream on all platforms, so be sure to check it out!

Gucci Mane Announces Posthumous Big Scarr Album

by

Nearly two months after the death of rapper Big Scarr, Gucci Mane has announced the upcoming release of his Posthumous album. Gucci’s label 1017 Records will be dropping The Secret Weapon on February 17th. The late rapper died on December 22nd, 2022 after ingesting a lethal dose of prescription pills. He had worked with 1017 Records on his The Secret Weapon album prior to his demise. According to HipHopDX, the album will be featuring rappers including Gucci, Key Glock, Pooh Shiesty, Enchanting, and Seddy Hendrinx.

Gucci took to his Instagram to announce the album with a teaser of the 15-song track list. The Secret Weapon would have been Big Scarr’s 7th studio album collaboration with 1017. The Tennessee-born rapper signed with Gucci’s label in 2020. In the caption for Gucci’s album announcement, the record executive wrote, “my secret weapon Big Scarr album drops this Friday! I hate that he’s not here to celebrate this great body of work that he worked so hard on! #TheSecretWeapon album drops this Friday 2/17 midnight on all platforms.”

Gucci To Drop The Secret Weapon On 2/17

The My Secret Weapon album follows Gucci’s intense disagreements with Big Scarr’s family. The feud began with his contribution to the funeral costs, which family members claimed to be insufficient. While Gucci’s wife Keyshia Ka’Oir released receipts revealing Gucci’s $20k contribution to N.J. Ford & Sons Funeral Home, Big Scarr’s sister Alexandra Woods was still not happy.

Woods took to Instagram live to explain. “That 10K ain’t help with nothing but obituaries and flowers, boo,” she said. “My brother worth more than 10K,” she said. “Yea, Gucci sent $10,000 and somebody else on another team. So, it was $20,000 in all. And we ain’t get the flowers. I don’t give a fuck what nobody say.” She goes on to reveal that the $20k barely made a dent in the total bill of $60k. But, Woods also received her own version of backlash, along with the family, after Big Scarr’s former girlfriend stepped in. She shamed the family for making a music video at his funeral and for wearing his jewelry. The woman referred to the whole spectacle as “disgusting.”Big Scarr’s posthumous album The Secret Weapon will be available to stream on all platforms 2/17 at midnight.

Gucci Mane Announces Big Scarr’s Posthumous Album

by

Big Scarr was a star pupil on Gucci Mane’s 1017 imprint. In the past few years of Gucci restructuring his label, he found plenty of talent across the south. Big Scarr, for example, was on pace to become the next star to emerge from the roster. Unfortunately, the rapper passed away just before Christmas. Fans across the world mourned his loss, especially as a young, underground figure with the potential to do major things and emerge as Gucci Mane’s next protegé.

Scarr’s death, unfortunately, led to a plethora of criticism online. People like Joe Budden expressed concern surrounding those who sign to 1017 due to the number of artists who’ve died or gone to prison. Then, there was a significant amount of drama from Big Scarr’s family, who accused Gucci Mane of stiffing them on funds for the funeral. Scarr’s sister said Gucci didn’t do enough when he offered $10K for the funeral and provided flowers. However, Scarr’s father expressed gratitude for Gucci’s efforts to provide his son with an opportunity.

Big Scarr’s The Secret Weapon Drops This Friday

Ahead of his death, Scarr was working on his new album. This morning, Gucci Mane confirmed that it would drop later this month. Wop hit the ‘Gram to announce that The Secret Weapon is dropping on Friday, Feb. 17th, though he expressed regret that Scarr isn’t here to celebrate the milestone. “My secret weapon Big Scarr album drops this Friday! I hate that he’s not here to celebrate this great body of work that he worked so hard on! #TheSecretWeapon album drops this Friday 2/17 midnight on all platforms,” he wrote on Instagram.

Additionally, Gucci Mane shared the tracklist for the upcoming project, The Secret Weapon. The posthumous album from the Memphis rapper boasts 17 songs in total with several collabs. Gucci Mane, of course, appears on the tracklist, as well as Scarr’s cousin, Pooh Shiesty, who is currently incarcerated. Additionally, Key Glock, Enchanting, and Seddy Hendrinx contributed to Scarr’s forthcoming project, The Secret Weapon. It’s undoubtedly a bittersweet moment for fans but we’re excited to hear what he has in store. Check Gucci Mane’s Instagram announcement above.

Woods-Reed then explained that Keed was working on the Keed Talk To ‘Em sequel just before his death.

She continued: “As much as he was a great father, son, and friend – he was also an artist who (thanks to many of you) lived and continues to live through his music.

“With that being said, the time has come to share some of our last pieces of Keed with you all starting with the release of his first single ‘Long Way To Go’ this Friday. This song holds a special place in my heart and as you guys will see it will reflect on many aspects of Keed’s journey here on Earth.”

She concluded: “I hope you all appreciate it as we take the first step in cementing Keed’s legacy. Long Live Keed!”

While his team is celebrating new music reports, a witness speaking to the FBI last week claimed that the “Crazy Story” rapper placed a $100,000 bounty on FBG Duck.

An FBI report cites a confidential witness they spoke to in August 2020, just weeks after Duck’s murder, who claimed that King Von first offered $50,000 for anyone who killed Duck, before later upping the reward to $100,000.

The witness, who claims the Von celebrated FBG Duck’s death by purchasing new chains for everyone on O’Block, also identified the alleged shooters, including Marcus “Muwop” Smart, who the witness alleges committed several murders on behalf of O’Block.

King Von was shot and killed during a huge melee with Quando Rondo’s crew on November 6, 2020, outside of a club in Atlanta. He was only 26 years old.

Young Dolph Shines On Posthumous Album, “Paper Route Frank”

by

Young Dolph had an amazing career that inspired numerous artists from the Memphis area. His tragic passing last year sent shockwaves throughout the music world, and it remains hard to fathom what happened. Overall, it is just a truly sad situation.

Although he is no longer with us, Dolph had a lot of music in the vault. Like many artists who have passed on, his estate took over his catalog, and now, a posthumous album has arrived. This project is called Paper Route Frank and it contains 13 tracks. Additionally, there are features here from Gucci Mane, Key Glock, and more.

Young Dolph Singles

Before the release of the album, there were two singles in the form of “Get Away” and “Old Ways.” As you can hear above, “Old Ways” was a smooth track that contained a lavish piano-based beat. Moreover, Dolph was delivering some of his signature flows in that deep voice that ultimately made him so fun to listen to. Overall, it was a solid indication of how this album would sound.

As for the rest of the project, we get that same iconic Young Dolph sound. Bandplay, Drumma Boy, Sosa 808, CEOO, and Dun Deal are all credited as producers on this album, and they did a phenomenal job with the sound. Everything here sounds cohesive, and the project is a great way to pay homage to someone who meant so much to so many.
