Big Sean – Express Yourself (HYPETRAK)
HYPETRAK TV caught up with Big Sean at Def Jam offices during his promo run for his latest Hall of Fame album that dropped today. During our discussion we wanted to examine the inner-workings behind the “Big Sean” persona beyond what music videos and songs may not tell you about the Detroit native. That in mind, we soon discovered Sean Anderson is not only a distinguished musician, but also a humanitarian for his hometown city of Detroit that’s seeing some of its toughest times right now. All this and more correlate onto his latest musical endeavor that’s proving to be one of his most personal projects to date. Hall of Fame is available as of today on iTunes.
