Big Sean, born Sean Michael Leonard Anderson on March 25, 1988, grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and has become one of the music industry's notable hip-hop artists. His journey began with a strong grassroots following in his hometown, which eventually caught the attention of Kanye West in 2005. After signing with West's GOOD Music label, Sean made his debut on the rap scene with the mixtape "Finally Famous Vol. 1," which launched a series of successful recordings under the same banner. His official studio album debut, "Finally Famous," arrived in 2011 and propelled him into the mainstream spotlight with hit singles like "My Last" featuring Chris Brown and "Dance (A$$)" featuring Nicki Minaj.

Over the years, Big Sean's candid lyricism and dynamic flow have solidified his stature in the hip-hop world. His fifth studio album, "Detroit 2," a sequel to his 2012 mixtape, features a star-studded list of collaborators and hits that reflect his growth as an artist and his homage to his roots. It debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart in 2020, marking another major milestone in his career. Known for his clever wordplay and introspective themes, Sean continues to exhibit his versatility and passion through collaborations and singles such as "What A Life" and "Hate Our Love," maintaining a significant presence in the music scene and resonating with a wide audience.
