Big Sean talks upcoming new album “Better Me Than You”.
Big Sean is all set to drop his new album “BETTER ME THAN YOU” this week, and the rapper gets emotional while talking about the project during his Instagram live session.
“I am a chronic overthinker. I’m a chronic, constant worker. And I’ve been having a hard time lately, straight up. It’s not been easy. But it’s worth it,” he said. “The whole concept of the album is like Better Me Than You, so when you go through your sh-t, it’s like you the one who can handle it — It gets hard. Your faith gets tested,” added the emotional Sean.
“When you make art, you put a lot into it. I definitely am a chronic overworker, overthinker, and I’ve been dedicating a lot of my life to it,” he continued. “I don’t try and read into what everybody say. It’s hard because you do care about your sh-t. I try and stay focused on the path and keep the music focused on what I want to do, no matter what people think. Sometimes if you read into too much sh-t, the internet can suck the fun out of it. Just anything you do. So as an artist, expressing yourself is important to me to stay on that path.”
“When me and Jhené [Aiko] were giving our son a bath last night, my mom called me and she was just giving me them words,” he said. “And I was just like, Look, I can keep working and make it exactly how I want it and I’ll be pushing it back forever. Or I can believe in the fire-a-s work that I got right now and that’s what I’ma do.” “I appreciate my mom for being that guardian angel and always giving me that advice. She really talked me through it, for real.”
“This album is definitely all the different layers of me. It’s broken up into four different categories — to me, at least. You got the pressure songs and then you got the focused, the clarity and then the happiness.”
The project which was supposed to be released on August 9th, will now drop this week on 30th August. This will be his sixth studio album and a follow-up to 2020’s “Detroit 2.”
