How did Big Sean get famous?

Big Sean is a rapper from the United States who began his music career in 2007 and rose to prominence in 2010 with the release of his third mixtape, Finally Famous Vol. 3: Big.

Big Sean has consistently been one of the most popular and successful artists in the music industry since bursting onto the scene with his debut album in 2011.

Big Sean got his start in music thanks to Kanye West, to whom he rapped outside a Detroit radio station. He signed with G.O.O.D. Music in 2007, and he still has the first check from his rap career.

Big Sean’s debut studio album, Finally Famous,  featured the US top 10 single “Dance (Ass)” (featuring Nicki Minaj). His second album, Hall of Fame (2013), followed it, and his third album, Dark Sky Paradise (2015), debuted at the top of the US Billboard 200.

It also featured the hit singles “I Don’t Fuck with You” (with E-40) and “Blessings” (featuring Drake and Kanye West). His fourth album, I Decided (2017), featured his highest-charting US single, “Bounce Back,” and his fifth album, Detroit 2 (2020), was his third consecutive platinum album.
