Seagram Miller (April 13, 1970 – July 31, 1996)[1] was an American rapper from Oakland, California.[4]
Miller released two albums in his lifetime: The hard-edged and violent The Dark Roads and the more typically laid-back west coast style Reality Check. Miller was shot to death in a drive-by shooting on July 31, 1996. The killing remains unsolved.[3][5] He is interred in the Oakland Bay Area. His first posthumous album titled Souls on Ice was released in 1997. A movie based on his life is being made currently, called Bay Business, with a soundtrack scheduled to be released in September 2016 and a new posthumous album also being released soon.
Aside from his own releases, Seagram is perhaps best known for his collaborations with his labelmates, the Geto Boys.
