“The 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙎𝙐𝙍𝙀 of life (being a new Dad, being an artist that’s growing, being a human in development etc.) and embracing it all led me to a lot of 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘 on what i needed to 𝐅𝐎𝐂𝐔𝐒 on to find a piece of 𝑯𝑨𝑷𝑷𝑰𝑵𝑬𝑺𝑺,” shared Sean on X (formerly known as Twitter). “The past few years making this album have been a journey to say the least, but l’m just glad we finally here 🌍”
With new single “Yes”, Big Sean pulls no punches. Right out of the gate, a thumping bass line crawls through a funky guitar lead and simmering drums. Simultaneously, his laidback cadence slips into a verbal barrage punctuated by head-spinning rhymes delivered with unstoppable force.
Reminding everyone of his influential significance and undeniable legacy, Big Sean recently dropped a viral On The Radar freestyle in which he pays homage to fellow Detroit native Aaliyah, rapping over the 1996 classic “If Your Girl Only Knew.”
It lands in the wake of pummeling “Precision” which earned widespread acclaim. Rolling Stone hailed it as “confidence-boosting,” and XXL applauded how “Big Sean goes rapid-fire on his verses.” UPROXX put it best, “Big Sean makes a sure fire aim with ‘Precision’, his triumphant comeback single,” going on to proclaim, “Sean raps over an energetic beat, reminding us that while he’s been away for a minute, he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.”
Making headlines, he also teamed up with Eminem and BabyTron on the internet-breaking “Tobey” off The Death of Slim Shady album, sending shockwaves through the game.
Additionally, he unveiled a highly personal and revealing VLOG entitled “Clarity” threading together intimate footage culled from the sessions, tracing the creative journey up to this point. Reflecting on how far he’s come, he pulls back the curtain on what to expect from this season of Big Sean.
Sean celebrated the 10th anniversary of his seminal DETROIT mixtape with an expanded version on all streaming services. Meanwhile, 2020’s gold-certified Detroit 2, exploded as Sean’s fifth consecutive #1 debut on the R&B/Hip-Hop Album Chart and garnered a nod at the 2021 GRAMMY® Awards in the category of Best Rap Performance for “Deep Reverence” [feat. Nipsey Hussle].
Get ready for Better Me Than You.
