The upcoming MC, who was a member of the XXL Freshman Class this year, has worked with musicians like Offset and Pooh Shiesty. Scarr released his debut mixtape, Big Grim Reaper, in April 2021 after making an appearance on the 1017 collection So Icy Gang, Vol. 1. This mixtape featured songs like “SolcyBoyz” and “Poppin.”
Scarr was shot in the hip in the year 2020, and the bullet went all the way up to his spine. His injuries required medical professionals to remove his appendix and straighten his right leg.
Alexander Woods, who was given the name “Scarr” when he was 16 years old and permanently scarred from a car accident after being thrown through a friend’s windshield, was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 7, 2000.
