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.
Aside from his own releases, Seagram is perhaps best known for his collaborations with his labelmates, the Geto Boys.
