It was just 5 years ago that the world was introduced to Big Sean. A very young ambitious Detroit native trying to get buzz on his music, his Detroit player swag, and put his city on the map. After convincing one of Rap’s biggest artist that he was perfect for signing with a quick 16 bar freestyle at a local radio station in his hometown. Sean landed himself a record deal with G.O.O.D Music and Def Jam. Under his new home of a label he released a series of mixtapes entilted “Finally Famous“. Creating a huge fanbase of folks fascinated with his Detroit player swag, clever rhymes, one word punchlines, and style. With massive praise on the tapes, this called for something bigger — an LP. And an LP is what we got. On 28th June Sean made it known that he’s set make his mark in the game and possibly be what Beyonce is to R&B, Big Sean can be to rap. Album review and favorites on the reverse.

Yeayuh. Lupe finally dropped the visuals for his 1st single off Lasers. Ya’ll already know it’s going to be one of the best albums of 2011 if it’s anything like the Cool on a lyrical level. This song is such a feel good anthem, very sing-a-long. The video follows the rapper through his journey from the dressing room to the strage, takes some CGI space detours on the way to the stage. The song has a positive message which is quite rare these days especially in rap music, peep the video on the flipside. Hope everyone had a good Christmas! but now back to work…the show goes on.
I don’t know why but I really dislike writing this post these days. I’m guessing it’s either because 1. I hate sharing my music, 2. The post takes hours to write and 3. I’m lazy. I’ll go with the latter. For me, it’s been Kanye week with the release of his latest album but because I bought the album, I shall not be sharing anymore songs from it. So to kick start things with the new Queen of Hip-Hop, Nicki Minaj. Continues after the jump folks.

This is my song of the week. I downloaded it around 2am last night and since then it has already been played 20 times on iTunes. Yes I rinse songs like that. This song samples the guitar riffs in Modest Mouse’s ‘Float On’, it’s just so infectiously catchy with the horns and the chorus has a sing-along feel to it. An all around happy ‘feel good’ song that puts a smile on my face despite the dull and gloomy weather outside. The show goes on, off to University I go.

According to his Twitter, Yeezy is in London. The same city as me, one can only dream of accidentally bumping into him as I don’t know how to get through to his agent or anyone for an interview. I was a bit disappointed with last week’s GOOD Music Friday track, just wasn’t feeling the vibe of it. This one is straight fire, featuring 3 of my favourite rappers – Mos Def, Ye and Lupe Fiasco. Not so much a fan of Big Sean to be honest but he does well on this track. Peep the song on the flipside.
