Equally adept at dealing out narrative reflections and fearsome threats over laid-back funk grooves and menacing productions worthy of horror films, unsung Bay Area gangsta rapper and producer Seagram left behind a small if revered body of work. It's limited to The Dark Roads (1993), Reality Check (1994), and the posthumous Souls on Ice (1997), all of which were released on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Rap-A-Lot%22">Rap-A-Lot</a> and charted.

Oakland native Seagram Miller debuted in 1992 with "The Dark Road," a grim G-funk track that helped push the parent LP, The Dark Roads, into Billboard's hip-hop/R&B chart the following February. In addition to close friend and collaborator Gangsta P, <a href="spotify:artist:3f5fB1YUbkUnW7cf7I0R48">Geto Boys</a>' <a href="spotify:artist:19KwjzvIL92r29IINtlPNP">Scarface</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7ipr4gJAFLoygvGdGs667W">Willie D</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3Cjv4IeE8gjeiXvwRjwSHb">Bushwick Bill</a>, along with fellow Houston heavyweight <a href="spotify:artist:0kVcYshl2cgTL2yJ44VQbc">Ganksta N-I-P</a>, made appearances. The smoother Reality Check, boasting a verse from <a href="spotify:artist:4sb7rZNN93BSS6Gqgepo4v">Too $hort</a> on "Gangstas & Players," followed in 1994 and fared even better commercially, reaching number 53 R&B/hip-hop. Two years later, Seagram and Gangsta P were victims of a shooting in East Oakland. P survived, but Seagram died. Souls on Ice was issued posthumously in 1997. The lead track "Sleepin in My Nikes" reappeared on <a href="spotify:artist:19KwjzvIL92r29IINtlPNP">Scarface</a>'s double-platinum 1998 album My Homies. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
