Big Mello - Bone Hard Zaggin

Big Mello - Bone Hard Zaggin
Big Mello is a rapper from the notorious neighborhood of Hiram Clarke in Houston, TX. He is known for his hard street style and roguish delivery. This was his debut album and was released in 1992 on Rap-A-Lot Records. Production was split between Crazy C and Big Chief. They dropped some of the finest beats you can find. Featuring on the album is 3-2, Lez Mone and Icey Hott of Street Military. He went on to release four more albums, some of which are considered classics in the south. Big Mello passed away on June 16, 2002. It is said that he lost control of his car and hit a pillar, killing both himself and a passenger. He was 33 years old. Both Z-Ro and Scarface have released separate tribute songs to honor his passing. He is regarded as one of the true soldiers to have ever stepped in the rap game. Rest in peace Big Mello.
