Big Sean is the latest subject of a leak, after someone reportedly released a 14-track set that is said to be a version of the Detroit rapper's upcoming album. Sean Don wasted no time in responding to the leak, going on the attack as he teased one upcoming collaboration with The Alchemist on Wednesday (July 17).
“Starting to drop this new music before it all leaks soon BIG SEAN x THE ALCHEMIST,” he wrote in an Instagram post.
The accompanying clip finds Sean rhyming over Alchemist's soulful production, and they seem to have a visual ready to go with the rapper and producer kicking it in the grassy fields.
“Press the V and it ain't for a vendetta/ I'm as hungry as ever but somehow I'm fed up/ A smooth operator I could hook you up/ I only love a few, gotta protect you,” he raps.
Big Sean caused a stir on social media with subliminal bars from his “On the Radar Freestyle” on Wednesday, which some thought were shots at Kendrick Lamar, while others like DJ Hed hinted he bequeathed to Ye (formerly known as Kanye West).
“I talked to Sean. The bar was 'I got better things to do then find someone to beef with' And it wasn't for Dot,” Hed tweeted. “The bar appealed to a different Gemini.” (Ye's June 8 birthday makes him a Gemini.)
Big Sean was signed to Ye's GOOD Music label for 14 years before announcing his departure in October 2021. The move comes shortly after West called Sean's signing “the worst thing I've ever done” Drink Champs interview in November 2021.
