Big Pokey Wiki – Milton Powell by the stage name Big Pokey was 45 years old and an American rapper from Houston, Texas. Big Pokey was associated with chopped and screwed up music and was one of the original members of Screwed Up Click. Big Pokey began rapping with Houston producer DJ Screw in the early 1990s and has released songs on many of DJ Screw’s mixtapes. Big Pokey was featured on DJ Screw’s “27 June Freestyle” mixtape, which became a landmark album in diced and screwed hip hop.

His first full-length album, Hardest Pit in the Litter, was released in early 1999. The following year, Pokey returned with another album, D-Game 2000, consisting of 808 mid-tempo guided beats, featuring several of his Houston colleagues. He collaborated with Wreckshop Wolfpack for Tha Collabo in 2001 and then returned in 2002 with another solo album, Da Sky’s Da Limit. In 2004, a clip of Pokey’s song “Who Dat Talkin Down” appeared in the pilot episode of HBO’s Entourage. In 2005, Pokey appeared on Paul Wall’s track “Sittin’ Sidewayz”, which peaked at #93 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single remains Pokey’s top single on the charts.
