One of the standout stars on the New 1017 roster, Memphis-bred
Big Scarr lays his gritty street tales atop muscular trap beats on mixtape
Big Grim Reaper. Along with label boss
Gucci Mane, the set also features turns from
Pooh Shiesty and
Foogiano, as well as production from
Tay Keith and Bandplay. The guests don't ever eclipse
Scarr, which is a testament to the talented emcee's lyrical content and impressive delivery. Highlights include the piano-kissed thumper "Frozone," the symphony-sampling "Get It In," and the trio of bass-booming "SoIcyBoyz" tracks with the New 1017 crew. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
