Sean gained a strong relationship with 102.7FM, a local radio station in Detroit where he displayed his rhyming skills weekly. There, he met Kanye West after a radio interview in 2005 and got a chance to display his talent by freestyling for Mr. West, giving him a copy of his music and sending numerous tracks for him to critique. After months of submitting songs and numerous meetings, Sean finally got the call from Kanye West himself saying that he wanted to sign him. Big Sean officially signed to G.O.O.D Music in 2007 and then signed to Island Def Jam in 2008.

Sean has three mixtapes under his belt starting with Finally Famous – The Mixtape in November 2007, UKNOWBIGSEAN – Finally Famous Vol. 2 in Spring 2009, and Finally Famous Vol. 3: BIG released in 2010. His hit single “Getcha Some” vastly took over the internet and created major buzz for the artist and quickly solidified him as a breakout star. The single first debuted on Kanye West’s Cant Tell Me Nothin’ Mixtape giving him the exposure needed to showcase and introduce his talent to the world. Big Sean released his debut album entitled Finally Famous on June 28, 2011. The album features Hip Hop stars such as ten-time Grammy Award-winning artist Kanye West, Pharrell, The Dream, and many more. “Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay“, a song from his debut album featuring Kanye West, gained international recognition after trending worldwide on Twitter in June 2011. Soon after its release, Sean’s collaboration with Chris Brown, “My Last” reached number 1 on the Billboard Hip Hop charts.
