Big Sean Shares New Song After Confirming Plans For His Anticipated Album

Big Sean shared a new single after he revealed the title of his upcoming album.

On Friday, July 19, the Detroit rapper released his latest track "Yes." The song was crafted by himself and several other producers including Teddy Walton, The-Dream, FNZ, Lil Rich, Myles T, OG Webbie, Mano, Milan Beker, Aaron Bow and Rogét Chahayed. Sean serves up three rapid-fire verses over three different instrumentals.

"I would rather give y'all my soul, I don't have to sell it," Sean raps. "Might take a piss off your rap Mount Rushmore after I scale it/Blue strips when I do hit the strip, know we f**kin' it up like Elvis/No broke talk, G.O.A.T. talk."

Big Sean's new song dropped hours after he confirmed the release date and title of his next album Better Me Than You. The psychedelic trailer opens with Sean laced with a gold chain and matching braids. As we enter his mind, an array of symbolic images from all over the planet and out into the galaxy flash quickly while the intro of another unreleased track plays in the background. The title of the album appears at the end in four different colors.

"The 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙎𝙐𝙍𝙀 of life (being a new Dad, being a artist thats growing, being a human in development etc) and embracing it all led me to a lot of 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘 on what i needed to 𝐅𝐎𝐂𝐔𝐒 on to find a piece of 𝑯𝑨𝑷𝑷𝑰𝑵𝑬𝑺𝑺," Sean wrote on X ahead of the trailer. "The past few years making this album have been a journey to say the least, but n l'm just glad we finally here 🌍."

Some fans already had an idea about the album title prior to Sean's announcement. Earlier this week, an alleged Ye fan defended his honor by leaking parts of the project online. He apparently felt disrespected by Sean's recent freestyle, in which he seemingly dissed his former G.O.O.D. Music boss. The file was called "Feelings & Random Thots" but he also said the alternate title was Better Me Than You. 14 songs leaked but some of them sounded incomplete.

Big Sean acknowledged the leak occurred, however, he didn't get into specifics. He reacted by sharing another unreleased track produced by The Alchemist. Better You Than Me drops on August 9. Listen to his new song "Yes" below.
