G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean releases his third mixtape, Finally Famous Vol. 3, hosted by Don Cannon, the prelude to his long awaited debut album, Finally Famous, on G.O.O.D Music / Island Def Jam, dropping on September 14th. Big Sean’s major label debut is set to feature production from The Olympicks, Kanye West, and The Neptunes, and features Wale, Eminem, Kid Cudi, and Rick Ross among others. The Detroit rapper has showed restraint, releasing just three mixtapes over the course of the last three years, but nonetheless has crafted his image as an integral part of the G.O.O.D. music roster. Big Sean belongs to this new class of hip hop that doesn’t feel the overwhelming compulsion to project the gangster rap image, and is willing to push the sonic boundaries of hip hop, a product of the same sort of musical thinking of label mates Kid Cudi and Kanye West. Sean’s strength lies in his ability to blend a bouncy flow of witty punch lines in his melodic verses, making his skills as an MC immediately recognizable for hip hop heads, but allowing him greater potential for a broader audience. It’ll be interesting to see how his album does in a couple weeks, but in the mean time check out the mixtape and this track, which samples the Luniz classic, I Got Five On It, featuring personal favorites, Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids and Curren$y.
