Look at that, I even stay true to my word, giving you guys a post about fantastic music even when I'm hitting the slopes. Dedication to music, well not really just had to serve my desire to share music with someone, and you people are the ones that get to! So listen up, I got a song to let invade your mind.
Big Sean is a young rapper that is lived most of his life in Detroit, a city known for some pretty damn good musicians, Eminem from the rap world and Kid Rock from...whatever genre he is. It's a city that has played an integral part of North American pop culture. A gang center, along with some of the biggest clubs and playing home to some of the most known movies, it has it's history. Big Sean writes and ode to his city, aptly titled Hometown. The people one grows up with really do play a vital part in their growth and ultimately, how they are. It seems that Big Sean feels that he owes his city what he has achieved in his 22 years on Earth. He's released three mix tapes, all titled Finally Famous Vol 1-3:Something Clever Here, he's also got a studio album coming out on May 3rd, also titled Finally Famous.
He's worked with some pretty big names, including fellow city mate Mike Posner on the album version of Cooler Then Me as well as a few songs with Wiz Khalifa and Kayne West. Yeah, he's got some credit, and he's been spitting freestyle on the radio for years, and that is where he earned his respect from alot of people. This song however, is not a freestyle, and he kills it. The backing vocals provide a nice change from his hard hitting word play and the beat is simple enough that it doesn't distract from the lyrical masterpiece he creates. A deep bass and some respectful voice alterations make for a song sound both in production and lyrical merit.
So there's my opinion, make your own, love it, hate it, he's got the respect of some big names, and a big number of people back in D-Town. Check out some of his other stuff, I'm out!
