Big Sean parts ways with Kanye West’s “G.O.O.D. Music” label.
Last night, Big Sean teamed up with Hit-Boy for a new joint project called “What You Expect“, and it is revealed that the project is not released through G.O.O.D. Music label. In a Q&A session with the fans, Big Sean confirmed that he has officially left Kanye West’s GOOD Music after 14 years, and started his own label.
“By the way this the first project where I’m on my own label as well, no more lil dawg shit!!!! I bossed up! #DONLIFE,” he wrote. A fan asked him about the GOOD Music, to which Sean Don says, “That’s a forever brotherhood, but business wise, I had to start getting a bigger cut! I worked my way out that deal.”

Big Sean signed to Kanye West helmed label back in 2007, and released his all 5 major studio albums through it, including the last year’s “Detroit 2“.
The announcement follows the release of Sean and Hit-new Boy’s joint EP What You Expect. The six-track album includes the previously released lead song “What A Life,” as well as cameos by Lil Durk, Babyface Ray, 42 Dugg, and Bryson Tiller.
What You Expect is Sean’s first real solo release since Detroit 2, which was executive produced by Hit-Boy and released last September. “I was bout to drop a new song tonight, but then I thought… nah, instead I’m a drop 5 new songs tonight,” Sean wrote on Twitter Wednesday. “… Album next! But I ain’t feel like waiting til I was done wit da album bruh, I wanna drop new music, n keep! F**kin! dropping!”
Last week, Big Sean said that he misses the “brotherhood” at GOOD Music. “I also really miss the brotherhood I use to have with GOOD music, I don’t know what happened. Guess those the GOOD ol days. It’s all love, but we use to really be clique’d up,” he wrote.
