Sean’s upcoming project is also getting the cross-branding treatment. Yesterday, he uploaded an Instagram video and photo of an Anheuser-Busch beer can that features his face, his stage name, and his Detroit 2 album title. The cursive-written inscription on the limited-edition product reads, “You’re the chosen one.

(AllHipHop News) Hit-Boy season continues to flourish this week. Hip Hop devotees already got to hear how the 33-year-old musician handled executive producing the acclaimed King’s Disease album by Queens-raised rap icon Nas. Then on Monday, Big Sean released a record titled “Deep Reverence” featuring the late Nipsey Hussle which was also produced by Hit-Boy. Additionally, Sean tapped the Grammy-winning beatmaker to co-executive produce his upcoming Detroit 2 album. Hit-Boy’s sound has gone from New York to Michigan back to New York and Michigan simultaneously. His latest production credit is attached to Buffalo emcee Conway The Machine’s new single “Fear Of GOD” featuring Detroit singer/rapper DeJ Loaf. “Fear Of GOD” is set to appear on Conway’s forthcoming From King To A GOD. The project will also include contributions from Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Freddie Gibbs, Method Man, Havoc, Lloyd Banks, Alchemist, Daringer, Erick Sermon, and more.

Big Sean Reveals Jhene Aiko Suffered Miscarriage
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Big Sean has revealed his girlfriend Jhene Aiko suffered a miscarriage in his candid new Nipsey Hussle collaboration, “Deep Reverence.” The star dropped the track overnight as he announced the release date for his much-anticipated new album, Detroit 2, on September 4th, and fans were shocked to discover he and Aiko had suffered the loss of a child in the lyrics as he opened up about his mental health issues that were triggered by the tragedy. On the track, he rhymes: “I realize this situation was coming and going/If it don’t give you more it drains you…/Probably why this s##t gets crazy/We lost a baby.” Big Sean doesn’t name Jhene in the tune, but the pair has been dating for more than four years. The rapper also suffered another big blow last month, when his ex-fiancee, Naya Rivera, lost her life in a boating accident in California. Paying tribute to the former “Glee” star on Instagram, he wrote: “Rest In Peace Naya, God Bless your Soul! Thank you for blessing us all with your talent and presence… “I appreciate and cherish everything that ever happened between us for making me wiser and a better person. I’m still grieving and in shock, I can’t believe this is real. I’m praying for you and your family and I know your watching over them and protecting them.”
Big Sean Addresses Rumored Beef With Kendrick Lamar On “Deep Reverence”
(AllHipHop News) For years, there has been speculation of a Cold War taking place between Detroit’s Big Sean and Compton’s Kendrick Lamar. The rumored feud apparently began after Sean released “Control (HOF)” in 2013 which featured an internet-breaking verse by Kendrick. For seven years, Hip Hop listeners and pundits dissected both emcees’ lyrics to determine if either man was taking aim at the other on wax. Tracks such as Big Sean’s “Me, Myself, and I” and “No More Interviews” as well as Kendrick Lamar’s “The Heart Part 4” and “Humble” supposedly contained subliminal shots directed at their presumed rival. Earlier this year, Big Sean sat down with Joe Budden for the rapper-turned-media personality’s Pull Up interview series. The 27-year-old midwesterner spoke about the alleged beef with K. Dot that was fueling fan battles in chat rooms and on social media. “So then I remember going online and seeing like, ‘Oh, is he talking about Kendrick?’ Because I’m talking about people who rap fast… I wasn’t beefing with nobody. I’m just rapping, n*gga. It wasn’t like a specific person or else I would’ve said his name,” Sean told Budden at the time. He added, “Every verse I do, people be like, ‘Oh is this a response? Is this a response?’ And I’m like, ‘Damn, I can’t even show no aggression, people think it’s a damn response.’ It got to a point where somehow it was just a weird tension between me and him even though it was already said it wasn’t no beef. Because people made it that way.” The Roc Nation-backed spitter further addressed his relationship with Kendrick Lamar on a new record. Sean dropped “Deep Reverence” overnight. The song features the late West Coast rapper Nipsey Hussle who was murdered in Los Angeles last year. “After what happened to Nipsey, I reached out to Kendrick. It wasn’t even no real issues there to begin with. Lack of communication and wrong information from people fueled by their ego. It’s like mixing flames with diesel,” rapped Sean on “Deep Reverence.” The Nipsey Hussle-assisted song is set to appear on Big Sean’s Detroit 2 album which is due out on September 4. Sean, Hit-Boy, and Kanye West are credited as executive producers for the forthcoming G.O.O.D Music/Def Jam Recordings release.
Hit-Boy Credited As An Executive Producer For Big Sean’s ‘Detroit 2’ Album
(AllHipHop News) By the end of 2020, rap fans might be talking about Hit-Boy as the Producer Of The Year. The Grammy winner already assisted Nas in creating the critically-acclaimed King’s Disease album, and he was also behind the boards for an upcoming Big Sean project. “I watched bro @bigsean lock in for hours til every bar hit how he wanted it to. His vision was clear from the jump this is some of his most elevated work on every level. Proud is an understatement!! DETROIT 2 9/4 executive produced by me, Big Sean, and Kanye West ,” tweeted Hit-Boy on Monday. Big Sean announced his highly-anticipated fifth studio album, Detroit 2, will be released on September 4. The LP is the sequel to the G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam recording artist’s classic 2012 mixtape Detroit. On Monday night, Sean let loose the track “Deep Reverence” featuring the late Nipsey Hussle. The single was co-produced by Hit-Boy, Audio Anthem, G. Ry, and Rogét Chahayed. Big Sean tweeted, “RIP NIP!!! I can’t think of a better time to drop this one! Love! #Detroit2 next week!

Big Sean Announces Release Date For Highly Anticipated Album “Detroit 2”
(AllHipHop News) It has been eight years since the world first heard Big Sean’s epic mixtape release, Detroit. The thematic title gave tribute to his hometown and featured appearances from French Montana (on “Mula”), J. Cole, Juicy J, Kendrick Lamar, King Chip, Royce da 5’9″, and Tyga. This joint further cemented him as one of the most word-crafty emcees of his generation. Detroit 2, Big Sean’s fifth studio album release, is poised to be just as phenomenal when it drops on September 4th. Fans have been waiting with bated breath since it was rumored to drop in correlation with his now postponed 2020 Coachella appearance. Still, with little than the September 4th release date revealed, the question that fans have is simple: can it keep up with the fire releases that he has dropped over his celebrated career? That’s a tall order. His 2011 debut album, Finally Famous was certified platinum, helping the next release Hall Of Fame (back in 2013) debut at #1 on the Billboard Rap chart. Big Sean’s next record, I Decided, became his second consecutive album to debut at #1, showing the world his amazing crossover appeal. In 2015, with the release of Dark Sky also went platinum and his Twenty88 collab with then-girlfriend Jhené Aiko was also a huge success. While the music will be released on Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music/ Def Jam, the world is waiting for his trip back to “Motown.” The project will also be accompanied by Detroit 2 themed merchandise. We can’t wait.
