Big Sean, whose real name is Sean Michael Leonard Anderson, is a well-known American rapper from Detroit, Michigan. When he was a teenager, Kanye West saw him, and in 2007 he joined with West’s company GOOD Music. Released in 2010, “Finally Famous Vol. 3: Big” was Sean’s third mixtape and the catalyst for his breakout.
Hit songs “My Last” and “Dance (Ass)” from his debut studio album, “Finally Famous” (2011), debuted at number three on the Billboard 200. The single “Beware” helped his follow-up album, “Hall of Fame” (2013), debut at number three on the charts.
The third album by Sean, “Dark Sky Paradise” (2015), made its Billboard 200 debut at the top. “I Don’t Fuck with You,” the album’s debut track, became an octuple platinum certified hit, securing his position in the rap industry. His chart-topping success continued with albums like “I Decided” (2017) and “Detroit 2” (2020), with songs like “Bounce Back”.
After “Detroit 2” was released, Sean finally broke up with Kanye West and GOOD Music despite his success. He is a dynamic and significant personality in modern hip-hop as his career in the rap business continues to develop.
