Big Sean is once again stirring excitement for his highly-anticipated new album, giving fans a sneak peek of his collaboration with The Alchemist.
On Instagram, the Detroit native shared a series of photos and videos recapping his recent months. Among these was a short clip previewing a new track co-starring the legendary producer, The Alchemist. The snippet, introduced by Sean’s reflective words, left fans eager for more.
The post featured various moments, including a behind-the-scenes shot with Eminem from their ‘Tobey’ video shoot, a fan’s tattoo tribute, and glimpses of Sean’s upcoming self-help book, ‘Go Higher: Five Practices for Purpose, Success and Inner Peace.’ He cryptically captioned the slideshow: ‘Guess I gotta go again n show them it ain’t luck…’
Big Sean and The Alchemist first teamed up on ‘Palisades, CA,’ from The Alchemist’s 2023 album with Larry June, ‘The Great Escape.’ Their recent studio sessions hint at more joint efforts on Sean’s forthcoming album, which has already sparked curiosity among fans.
Earlier this year, Sean’s vlog showcased studio footage that included cameos from notable artists like Tyler, The Creator, Timbaland, Hit-Boy, Lil Yachty, Charlie Wilson, KAYTRANADA, and The Internet’s Syd, suggesting diverse collaborations for the new album.
Though details about the album remain scarce, Sean announced it would be ‘coming soon’ during his Tiny Desk Concert for NPR in March. At the concert, he also debuted ‘Get Up,’ a song dedicated to his son Noah, who turned one last November.
Sean’s recent single ‘Precision’ features a sample from Three 6 Mafia’s classic ‘Poppin’ My Collar,’ demonstrating his knack for reinventing old hits. Meanwhile, Sean’s collaboration with Proof’s son NASAAN has also drawn attention, with NASAAN revealing their strong friendship and his significant contributions to the new album.
NASAAN shared his admiration for Sean, explaining how their relationship has evolved from idolization to friendship. He described his integral role in curating and brainstorming ideas for Sean’s project, confidently asserting that the album should be out by late summer.
As fans eagerly anticipate the drop, Big Sean’s snippets, collaborations, and cryptic posts are building the excitement for what promises to be an impressive next chapter in his musical journey.
