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!

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!

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.
