Big Sean To Discuss New Album at GRAMMY Museum® Tonight
Complex LA to Host Better Me Than You Pop-Up on September 5 including Exclusive Merch in Collaboration with Billionaire Boys Club
Today, 7x BET Award-winning and GRAMMY®-nominated hip hop powerhouse Big Sean unleashes his highly anticipated sixth studio album Better Me Than You via Def Jam Recordings. The album marks a triumphant return for the artist as his first full length solo project since the PLATINUM-certified Detroit 2. In tandem with the album’s eagerly awaited release, Sean dropped the official music video for “Who You Are (Superstar)” starring Amine, Dylan Patel, Jazz Cartier, Mark Phillips, and Taye Diggs alongside Sean himself. Watch it HERE.
With Better Me Than You, Sean takes the listener through a 21-track journey toward self-exploration, responsibility, and coming to terms with (while enjoying) the complexity and wonder of the human experience. As he previously explained on X (formerly known as Twitter), four pillars act as the album’s compass represented by a spectrum of color: during the creation of the album Sean went through the PRESSURE (red) that gave him the CLARITY (aqua blue) to gain FOCUS (green) that brought him HAPPINESS (yellow gold).
Prior to release, Sean offered fans a taste of his new music with four advance tracks that received an outpouring of both fan and critical acclaim:
“Big Sean makes a sure fire aim with ‘Precision,’ his triumphant comeback single…reminding us that while he’s been away for a minute, he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.” – UPROXX
“The rapper’s music remains strong as ever…proof that his upcoming album may be his best to date.” – HotNewHipHop
“‘Yes’ shows the artist at his most confident. He’s playing around with flows and rapping like his rent is due.” – Billboard
“Over a bouncy instrumental, the Detroit rapper confronts his critics with fiery and confident verses, proving once again why he’s a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop scene.” – StupidDope
“Big Sean and The Alchemist continue to showcase their chemistry on this smooth new single” – HipHopDX
“…an infectious soul ballad juxtaposed by Sean’s laid-back Detroit D-boy delivery.” – Vibe
To celebrate the album’s release, the GRAMMY Museum®’s “A Conversation With Big Sean” at their Clive Davis Theater takes place tonight for a sold-out evening of conversation about the new album, his creative process, and more.
Next week, Complex LA will be hosting an exclusive pop-up on Thursday, September 5 offering fans the opportunity to shop the album and exclusive merchandise including a collaboration with Billionaire Boys Club. For more information, please visit bigseanbmtypopup.splashthat.com.
