Multi-platinum-selling hitmaker and GRAMMY-nominated lyrical powerhouse Big Sean releases the official music video for “It Is What It Is” featuring Gunna off his critically acclaimed sixth studio album Better Me Than You(Def Jam Recordings). Watch the video HERE.
Directed by Diego Cruz, the video for the “standout cut” (Rap-Up) that Rolling Stonecalled a “Song You Need To Know” showcases both Sean and Gunna rapping against various urban backdrops around Los Angeles, spitting take-no-prisoners bars such as “Face all on the front page, I don’t give a f**** about no backlash / I’ve been backstabbed and laughed at / We gon’ see who gets the f*****’ last laugh.”
“It Is What It Is” is track seven on Better Me Than You, the album in which 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. Praise for the album includes:
“Big Sean takes his rightful place among hip-hop veterans on his sixth album, Better Me Than You” – Complex
“Better Me Than You suggests he’s finally cracking the code…Sean can still talk shit and kick impressive double and triple-time flows with the best of them” – GQ
“Bops galore…a reminder of why he was one of the brightest stars in the blog era and why he has had such longevity.” – VIBE
“Sean carries the torch of no-frills hip-hop.” – Billboard
“For the past three years, Big Sean has stayed away from rapping to focus on building his family and improving himself. He’s finally back with a bigger purpose and a dope album…Elevated” – XXL
“Sean’s first album since 2020 picks up right where he left off, showing that he’s every bit as good a rapper as all those guys he’s constantly getting compared to…While there’s plenty of uplift and spirituality, there’s also a bit of the braggadocio we know him for so well, all executed with the polish of the 15 year veteran he is.” – UPROXX
“The raps are sharp and refined; in the past, where the highlights would be his punchlines and metaphors, here he excels at storytelling and displaying the complex duality of humanity.” – VIBE
