Every week I keep my ear to the streets to highlight an artist from Detroit that’s takin’ the game by storm! This week it’s Big Sean! The Detroit native was signed to Kanye West’s label G.O.O.D Music/Def Jam, and he’s shinin’!
Every year well-known hip hop magazine XXL does a cover story where they select their Top 10 Freshman that they predict is going to make a huge impact on hip hop. Congrats to Big Sean for being chosen… Detroit WHUT!
