Recent activity on social media has left Big Sean's devotees buzzing with excitement about a possible new album release, igniting speculation and anticipation.
- Jun 1, 2024
AceShowbiz - Big Sean's fans may have a new album on the way soon. He hasn't dropped a new album since 2020's "Detroit 2", but that long wait could be over soon. The excitement was triggered by an exchange on Instagram between Big Sean and fellow Detroit rapper Eminem.
Eminem announced his upcoming new album "The Death Of Slim Shady" earlier this year and just shared the project's lead single "Houdini". Big Sean was quick to hype the track up with comments like "Not gon lie, u went crazy" and a series of fire emojis. However, it was his final comment that has fans particularly intrigued. "I'm dropping right after Marshall then. Takeover time," his comment reads.
While Eminem hasn't announced a specific release date for "The Death Of Slim Shady" yet, Big Sean's comment suggests that he may have insider information. It could also simply be a promise that he's been hard at work and a new project is indeed coming soon.
However, the mention of Big Sean releasing a new project has inevitably brought up the name of his old rival, Kendrick Lamar. This stems from their collaboration "Control", where Lamar is famously known for having stolen the show. This pattern repeated earlier this year when Big Sean released his new single "Precision", around the same time Kendrick stole the spotlight with his verse on Future & Metro Boomin's "Like That". Kendrick's involvement sparked the massive feud between Lamar and Drake, which has become one of the biggest rap stories of the year.
Whenever news about Big Sean emerges, fans are quick to joke about Kendrick sweeping in to steal his thunder. Despite the jokes, the anticipation for Big Sean's new album is real, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what he brings to the table.
