20 Songs, 1 Hour 18 Minutes

EDITORS’ NOTES

Representing for Detroit's west side, Big Sean got his first break freestyling for Kanye West, who eventually signed him to his label, G.O.O.D. Music. Heavily influenced by 'Ye in terms of both flow and fashion sense, he dropped several successful mixtapes and collaborated with established legends like Bun B as well as new-school stars such as Drake. After several delays, his debut album, Finally Famous, has arrived. It finds him spitting whimsical, punchline-laden rhymes mixed with plenty of big hooks and strong production from No I.D., The Neptunes, Mike Dean, and Exile. While not groundbreaking or exceptionally original, it's certainly catchy and benefits from high-profile guests like Chris Brown (on the single 'My Last'), John Legend ('Memories Part II'), Wiz Khalifa ('High'), and Kanye ('Marvin & Chardonnay').
