Big Sean Reveals COVID Diagnosis During Emotional IG Live: Watch

by

Big Sean has been through a lot since he dropped his last album. He became a father, he quit drinking, and apparently, he suffered from COVID. The rapper hopped on Instagram Live ahead of his new album release and dropped the bombshell news about his diagnosis. Big Sean talked about the various ways in which he feels he’s been tested since 2020. He also relayed the importance of these tests, and the role they play in the lyrical content of Better Me Than You.

Big Sean doesn’t take long to get emotional. Upon reflecting on the last four years, the rapper starts to tear up. He turns away from the camera, and even cuts at one point before walking back into the frame. “When you make art, you put your heart into this sh*t,” he explains. Big Sean then reveals that he is in the midst of recovering from COVID. “When I had COVID last week,” he reveals. “I was down and I was still working on the album.” The rapper then pointed out the irony of his diagnosis, given that his last album, Detroit 2, dropped during the pandemic. “When I last dropped an album, it was COVID,” he noted. “I was excited to plan my release party, I was excited to do all of that.”

Big Sean Is Already Working On His Next Album

Big Sean credits his family with helping him get through such a difficult time. He recalls a phone call from his mother that helped to put everything in perspective. Especially with regards to the release date of the album. “She was giving me them words,” he explained. “And I was just like, look, I can keep working on some sh*t and make it exactly how I wanted. But I’d be pushing it back forever.” He ultimately decided to have faith in the music he had, and put it out August 30. “That’s what I’mma do,” he told viewers. “The album is dropping this week.”

Big Sean also revealed that he’s begun work on his next album. He explained that he kept working while he was sick, and actually has dozens of songs that didn’t make the Better Me Than You tracklist. One of them, evidently, features Fantasia. Big Sean dubbed their collab “soulful,” and hinted at its inclusion on whatever he drops next. The uncertainty over which songs to include makes sense, given that Sean had to deal with Better Me Than You leaking in its entirety. We’re excited to hear the final version.

Big Sean Accused Of Biting Baby Keem But OG Fans Know The Truth

by

Big Sean is currently causing a debate indirectly with his recent single, “Yes”. According to Billboard, the second teaser track to the upcoming album Better Me Than You got its music video yesterday afternoon. Apparently, some Baby Keem fans caught wind of the Big Sean visuals and got to listening and watching. After presumably dissecting it intently, they are coming to the conclusion that the Detroit MC is biting heavily off the pgLang signee’s rap style. They aren’t exactly pointing to what aspects Sean is pulling from. However, we are assuming it has something to do with the zany and high-pitch bits he sprinkles into his delivery.

Outside of that, we feel this is pretty original Sean. We are definitely getting some Dark Sky Paradise vibes, especially with the black and white visuals for this track in particular. Additionally, we can hear the song “Paradise” all day long. Listen to those two songs back to back and tell us what you think.

Big Sean’s Latest Single Has Fans (Wrongfully) Accusing Him Of Stealing Baby Keem’s Flow

I’ve been trying to take it easy on Gen Z, I really have. You guys have had it hard. But you know what? Sometimes, you are your own worst enemies. Like today, when some of you accused Big Sean of biting Baby Keem‘s flow, despite the former having been around and using the same flow for over a decade and a half before you even learned the latter existed. All of recorded human knowledge in the palm of your hand, and you choose to be wrong AND loud about it. Not very demure, not very mindful.

It all started when fan account @rapalert6 shared a clip from Sean’s new video, “Yes,” on Twitter (which we all agree will never actually be called X, right?). Users began to respond with goofy statements like, “We really live in a world where baby keem has 40 year old sons,” and “Kendrick and Baby Keem bout to send Big Sean a cease and desist.”

Oof.

Of course, there were plenty of other users who were quick to set the record straight. “Y’all showing your age thinking Big Sean stole that from baby Keem, Big Sean been doing that for 10+ years,” wrote one. Another noted, “17 year olds who never heard ‘Paradise’ are saying he biting Baby Keem when he’s actually the one these rappers copy.”

Big Sean’s flow has been the subject of controversy for much of his career (no, he doesn’t “rap off beat,” yes, everybody and their mom stole HIS flow from “Supa Dupa,” he doesn’t seem to have beef with Kendrick Lamar, and that would be a closer contest than many are willing to admit), but this time, the fans have gone too far.

Big Sean Shares New Video for "Yes"

Big Sean, the GRAMMY®-nominated multi-platinum artist, has released the official video for his latest track, “Yes.” The visually captivating video follows the success of his recent singles, “Together Forever,” produced by The Alchemist, and “On Up,” dropped earlier this month.

Big Sean Drops Grim Visuals For “Yes” Single

by

If things check out, we should be receiving Big Sean’s brand-new album Better Me Than You on August 31. Of course, fans were supposed to have their hands on the tape back on August 9. However, thanks to the good old leaking community, Sean decided to make some minor adjustments beforehand. That’s we and a lot of other believe, however the Detroit MC pushed it back due to wanting to plan out concerts and such. That very well may be true, but with leaks ruining so many things from dropping on schedule or at all, we feel that’s what is going on here. Depending on how you look at it, Sean was able to drop another single this past weekend with The Alchemist.

Currently, we are up to four teaser tracks, which also include “Yes”, “Precision”, and “On Up”. Out of all the ones we have heard so far, we feel that Big Sean did his best work on “Yes”, which is single number two. So far, it seems this will be the album’s biggest banger. If that’s the case, we should be in for a solid album from Sean Don. The epic and dark instrumental suits his aggressive and “no f***s given” attitude on the track. His flows and deliveries are also engaging as he hits you with his familiar cool, calm, and collected voice. Additionally, he gets a little more animated and zanier to jolt some extra energy into his already thrilling performance. To give fans more to chew over, Sean teamed up with Lyrical Lemonade to deliver some equally gloomy visuals for “Yes”. They accentuate what the song sets out to be and we encourage you to check out the creative production below.

Big Sean Rages Out In His Menacing, Lyrical Lemonade-Produced ‘Yes’ Video

by

After the past few months of rollout for Big Sean’s new album, Better Me Than You, the video for his latest single, “Yes,” may come as a shocker. After all, he kicked things off on the wellness tip with “Clarity” and “Precision,” while his recent singles, “On Up” and “Together Forever” with The Alchemist have suggested a more soulful direction for Sean’s sixth studio album.

However, “Yes” finds him firmly in his gothic trap bag, in a similar vein to songs like “Blessings,” “Clique,” and “Mercy.” Over a haunting, thunderous instrumental, Sean reels off a string of defiant bars, anchored by the hook’s fiery mission statement: “When they tried to tell me, ‘No,’ I said, ‘No, motherf*cker, yes.’”

The Lyrical Lemonade-produced video is a suitably grungy affair, shot in murky greyscale with imagery including masked men raging around Sean, a dappered-up Sean taking over a chess match, and then swapping out his Sunday best for coveralls and paint splashing. It’s a little punk, a little polished gangster, and yet, it’s still very much in line with Sean’s past work, with Lyrical Lemonade’s signature flair for thrash aesthetics, which undoubtedly rubbed off on Sean when he teamed up with Eminem in the LL-produced videos for “Doomsday 2” and “Tobey.”

You can watch Big Sean’s “Yes” video above.

Better Me Than You has been delayed, but is coming soon via FF to Def Entertainment. Find more information here.

Big Sean Skates Over Soulful Beat From The Alchemist On “Together Forever”

by

Big Sean has been one of the biggest leak victims this year, especially since it has affected the release of his upcoming album. Better Me Than You was slated to hit DSPs last Friday, August 9. Now, we should be receiving the new body work hopefully by the end of the month. If not then, we could also be looking at an early September date as well. The Detroit MC has been handling all of this very well given the circumstances, which you have to commend him for. He revealed he’s in the process of planning some shows immediately after the album drops, so he’s really trying to give fans a lot during this album rollout. In the meantime, though, Big Sean is tiding fans over with “Together Forever”, which brings the single total to four.

It seems that Sean Don is leaning into themes of family, relationships, self-confidence, and living a fulfilling life for this record. Overall, it seems like this project could be one of his best yet, because “Together Forever” is another W in our books. Here, Big Sean is reuniting with the mad scientist himself, The Alchemist. The acclaimed producer has worked with him once before on the Larry June-led cut, “Palisades, CA”. The West Coast native gives the Michigan technician a jazzy, soulful, and head-nodding boom-bap beat, which he floats on. Below, you can check out the song and its accompanying visuals. On top of this heater, Sean seems to tease another track from the album with a darker approach and it may feature some rapping from Uncle Al, so fingers crossed.

“Together Forever”- Big Sean & The Alchemist

Quotable Lyrics:

Woke up to a P-Y-T tellin’ me “Get up”
Through all of the pressure, I’m keepin’ my chest up
2Pac, keep your head up, they aim for the neck up
Plottin’ but f*** it, I’m set to go set up
The b****es that settin’ me up for the sеt up
Pushin’ the V and it’s not for Vendetta

Big Sean Teams Up with The Alchemist for New Single "Together Forever"

GRAMMY®-nominated multiplatinum artist Big Sean has released his latest single and music video, “Together Forever,” in collaboration with The Alchemist. The track is part of his highly anticipated sixth studio album, “Better Me Than You,” set to drop under Def Jam Recordings.

“Together Forever” sees Big Sean reflecting on the pressures of daily life and the people who help him maintain his mental clarity. He starts the track with a candid admission, “I had to shake the little shit off,” highlighting the challenges he has faced and overcome. The song pays tribute to his inner circle, whose support has fueled his resilience, all set against a classic beat from The Alchemist.

The accompanying music video enhances the track’s introspective nature. It features Big Sean and The Alchemist and opens with a collage of clips that resemble a film reel, evoking the feel of a timeless movie’s opening sequence.

Big Sean first teased the track on social media, addressing the issue of his music leaking online. He posted, “I’m a just start droppin this new music before they leak it all.” The snippet quickly gained traction, with fans eagerly anticipating the full release. Now, with “Together Forever” available, listeners can fully appreciate the latest offering from Big Sean and The Alchemist.

Big Sean And The Alchemist Are Locked In ‘Together Forever,’ Or So Their Latest ‘Better Me Than You’ Video Boasts

by

Big Sean isn’t letting leaks or delays impact his forthcoming album’s promotion. Although the new release date for Better Me Than You hasn’t officially been announced, fans can sink their teeth into another track off the project.

Today (August 16), the “Precision” rapper dropped a new single off of the forthcoming body of work. On “Together Forever,” Big Sean forgoes his usual humble pie (as of late) to boast about how ambition has made him a household name.

In the track’s official video, his Better You Than Me partner-in-crime, The Alchemist, joins Big Sean to showcase that their chemistry far surpasses the recording booth.

“How does it get any better than this / Woke up to a PYT telling me to get up / Through all of the pressure I’m keeping my chest up / Tupac keep your head up, they aim for the next up / They plottin’ but f*ck it I’m set to go setup the b*tch that’s setting me up for the set up,” raps Big Sean.

The Alchemist’s fluid production and Big Sean’s even wavier bars make the wait for the project even harder to bear. But, it does build a confidence that it could very well be worth it in the end.

Watch Big Sean’s new video for “Together Forever” with The Alchemist above.

Better Me Than You is out soon via FF to Def Entertainment. You can find more information here.
