Big Scarr Biography: Age, Net Worth, Career, Height, Girlfriend, Parents, Albums, Songs

Alexander Woods, known professionally as Big Scarr, was an American rapper and songwriter from Memphis, Tennessee.

He rose to prominence as a signee of Gucci Mane‘s 1017 Records and Atlantic Records, gaining attention with his 2020 single Make a Play. Known for his deep Southern drawl, raw street narratives, and mixtape Big Grim Reaper (2021).

Early Life and Education

Alexander Woods was born on April 7, 2000, in Memphis, Tennessee, to Mr. and Mrs. Woods. He grew up alongside his siblings as one of nine children. Woods attended primary schools in South Memphis while being raised by his grandmother in the Magnolia area. After his grandmother passed away when he was 13, he formally withdrew from school and dropped out, choosing to navigate local street life rather than pursue a standard secondary diploma. He is of African-American ethnicity and was raised in a Christian household.

Career

Big Scarr began rapping as a teenager in Memphis, inspired by local artists like Young Dolph, Key Glock, and his cousin Pooh Shiesty. His early tracks were self-recorded and uploaded to YouTube, gaining modest local attention.

The first major breakthrough came in 2020 with the single Make a Play, which caught the attention of Gucci Mane. Gucci signed him to 1017 Records and Atlantic Records that same year. Early struggles included overcoming the lack of formal industry connections and building a catalog while still navigating street life.

His debut mixtape Big Grim Reaper (2021) featured the hit SoIcyBoyz with Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane, amassing millions of streams across platforms. He followed with the deluxe edition Big Grim Reaper: The Return (2022) and the posthumously released The Frosted Flakes (2023). Known for his sluggish, menacing delivery and vivid storytelling, Big Scarr was positioned as the next Memphis breakout alongside Pooh Shiesty.

However, his cousin’s incarceration in 2021 and Big Scarr‘s own struggles with prescription drug use overshadowed his momentum. Despite a short career, his impact includes solidifying 1017’s Memphis roster and influencing the next wave of Southern drill artists. On December 22, 2022, he died from a fatal combination of prescription drugs (oxycodone and alprazolam), as ruled by the medical examiner.
