Big Sean is gearing up for the release of his new album and he recently revealed that he collaborated with Kanye West for the project. He also opened up about his decision to feature E-40 on "I Don't F--k With You."
"Yeah, he took time," Big Sean told HipHopDX when asked about a collaboration with Kanye West. "That guy right there he took his time out. That's an OG, man. Shout out to the boy. Shout out to the homie."
He also offered up a little insight as to what fans can expect from the album.
"I feel like these records are just harder, man," he said in a video posted on HotNewHipHop.com. "I try different things all the time and I feel like this one's more intense as far as just the raps are at a high level. I'm just making it something that I wanna do. Something that's probably a little bit darker than the last one. Yeah, it's gonna be good though. We getting it ready for you. It's almost ready ... We got some crazy ones on there, man. Even that 'Paradise' verse. I feel like that verse was — That's a wild one right there."
When asked about his decision to feature E-40 on his DJ Mustard-produced single, the Detroit rapper spoke on being a fan of the legendary Bay Area rhymer for quite some time and added that the rapper was a perfect fit for the record.
"E-40's the OG," he said. "I don't think him and Mustard never really worked together. E-40, he's just one of my favorite rappers from when I was eight-years-old and my bro was playing me The Lox. Playing me Mase. Playing me all these different things. E-40 was one of them people that got a lot of respect in Detroit. I don't know what the connection is between The Bay and Detroit, but he just — He had me out there. And ever since I known him he's just been loyal. He just been cool. And to me he fit the record perfect. I had to get the OG on there. I feel like he added a certain aesthetic to it."
Stay tuned for more updates on the album.
