Today is a relatively big one for hip hop releases, so let’s kick things off with perhaps the biggest drop: Big Sean’s much-hyped third album. With some proclaiming it as his best and most cohesive project so far, Dark Sky Paradise is anchored by the E-40-guested “IDFWU,” the Drake and Kanye West-featured “Blessings,” and an extended version of his Mike WiLL Made-It-produced “Paradise,” with guest features from Drake, Kanye, John Legend, Jhené Aiko, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Wayne, John Legend, and a host of others. Stream the album – via Spotify, unfortunately – below, then cop a copy on iTunes.
As is the norm for artists, Sean stopped by The Breakfast Club this morning to talk the new album, how much of a influence Ariana Grande has been, how he stacks up with top tier rappers and much more.
