Big Sean
The story of rapper Big Sean’s break sounds like the stuff of Hollywood. One day, the then-high school student was cashing his telemarketing paycheck in his native Detroit when a friend called to tell him that Kanye West was going to be at a local radio station. Dropping everything, he hightailed it to the station parking lot where he introduced himself to the superstar, begging for the chance to rap a few lines. Initially hesitant, West allowed him 16 seconds as he walked into the building. But when Sean started rapping, the atmosphere changed—as an orchestra hidden in a nearby hedge played a swelling chord, Kanye stopped in his tracks, bobbing his head to the beat. Sean was signed on the spot.<p>
Now on the verge of releasing his second full-length album, Big Sean continues to impress listeners with his distinctive skills. His deceptively heavy beats back nimble rhymes that march and weave through the verses in a voice that can recall Snoop Dogg’s with its slightly nasal mellowness and ever-present hint of held-back laughter. In hit singles including “My Last” and “Marvin & Chardonnay,” Sean displays the charisma that helped him win BET’s “Best New Artist” award in 2012.<p>
