Big Scarr was born on April 7, 2000, and grew up in the Magnolia community of South Memphis, Tennessee. He was one of nine children, and he lived with his grandmother until her death when he was 13. He was injured in a car accident at 16 that left scars on his face, which inspired his stage name of "Big Scarr". Big Scarr initially didn't have a passion for rap music and started gaining interest due to his friend and fellow artist Baby K. In 2019, he released his first track "Make a Play" which received 50,000 views on YouTube. He recalls spending $20 to record his first song and $200 to record the music video. In 2020, he signed to American rapper Gucci Mane's record label 1017 Records under Atlantic Records. In 2021, he released "SoIcyBoyz" featuring his cousin Pooh Shiesty and American rapper Foogiano. He released two other installments in the series, titled "SoIcyBoyz 2" and "SoIcyBoyz 3". The second and third installments include a feature from producer Tay Keith, whilst the third installment features Gucci Mane. Big Scarr's debut mixtape, Big Grim Reaper, was released on April 16, 2021, and peaked at number 25 on the Billboard 200, selling 22,000 copies in its first week. This earned Big Scarr his first charting project. The mixtape included appearances from rappers Gucci Mane, Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano, Tay Keith, Enchanting, and Baby K. In February 2022, he released the deluxe of his mixtape Big Grim Reaper titled Big Grim Reaper: The Return with appearances from rappers Offset, Gucci Mane, and Queez Ruthless.
