New Video: Big Sean – “Light” Feat. Jeremih [WATCH]

sean-light

Beginning with a deadly exchange of bullets between two rival gangs is how Big Sean’sLawrence Lamont-directed video for “Light” featuring Jeremih starts. The shootout leaves an innocent little girl playing on her front yard dead, while gang members deal with their differences with violence.

With the beginning scene Sean Don looks to shed “Light” on different topics inner-cities deal with. The gang violence is only one of the subjects touched on in the video, along with police brutality, discrimination, racism, and other social topics.

“We shot this video a couple months ago and sucks to see these scenes are still consistently playing out in real life…even down to this week. It’s disheartening sometimes to see that not much has changed when it comes to hate, police brutality n just overall people losing their lives too early. But when I wrote this song, it was to reassure myself that no matter what happens, they can’t take away our Soul, our confidence, our ideas, n all that makes us shine,” Big Sean wrote on an Instagram post.

New Video: Big Sean – “Halfway Off The Balcony” [WATCH]

On the same day he dropped his fourth studio album, ‘I Decided.’, Big Sean also drops the video for his single “Halfway Off the Balcony” off the album.

The Andy Hines-directed video shares the same neon-colored light theme that the album cover and the “Bounce Back” video feature. This video also highlights what Sean said the album signifies, which is maturity. Sean discussed some of this sentiment during his appearance on “The Tonight Show.”

“The story of the album is, imagine going through life and you’ve made all the wrong decisions your whole life. You get to the end of your life and you say, ‘God, I did everything wrong. I didn’t work it out with the love of my life. I messed up with my parents. I’m not doing the job I was sent here for. Imagine something happens and you get one chance to redo it all. The album is basically a chance, to have that wisdom of an old man while you’re young, and going through life to figure it out,” he said on “The Tonight Show”.

big-sean-i-decided

Big Sean has been one of the most celebrated rappers since the release of his last album ‘Dark Sky Paradise’. The G.O.O.D. Music emcee is looking to continue his dominance with his fourth studio album ‘I Decided’.

Sean Don bangs out with 14 tracks and contributions from Rap God, Eminem on “No Favors,” his wifey, Jhene Aiko on “Same Time, Pt. 1,” Jeremih on “Light,” The Dream on “Sunday Morning Jetpack,” Migos on “Sacrifices,” and Starrah and the Flint Chozen Choir on “Bigger Than Me.”

According to Sean, he recorded the majority of the album in a make-shift studio on a tour bus while touring in Europe. The album is of extra importance for him because it’s supposed to show his maturity and wisdom through the journey of making music.

“The album is basically a chance, to have that wisdom of an old man while you’re young, and going through life to figure it out,” he said on “The Tonight Show.”

Stream ‘I Decided.’ below via Apple Music and tell us what your favorite track is in the comments below.

jeremih-chris-brown-big-sean-think-of-you

Jeremih tags his homies, Chris Brown and Big Sean for his new single “I Think of You.”

The song brings forward a funky vibe as Jeremih samples Montell Jordan’s 2000 single “Get It On Tonite.” Over the track Jeremih sings about his abilities to be a lover and really give his partner what she needs by intoxicating her with love.

Chris Breezy and Big Sean also get explicit on their verses, as they carry out very sexual lyrics, that are guaranteed to make panties drop.

Jeremih was supposed to drop a collaborative project with PARTYNEXTDOOR this year, but after the two couldn’t work out their differences while on tour, that looks to be out the window. The Chicago singer is now working on his fourth studio album, expected to drop later this year.

While you wait for that groove out with “I Think of You” by pressing play below.

UPDATE:

Jeremih tweeted that he will be dropping something special for the ladies on Valentine’s Day.

Big Sean Performs “Moves” On “Ellen” [WATCH]

big-sean-ellen

Big Sean brought the “Moves” to “Ellen” as he made his debut on the show and performed his newest single surrounded by elderly people holding cash, drinks, and popping bottles.

The elderly group showed off some of their moves as well while they celebrated life, while Sean ran through the track and displayed great energy.

It’s quite ironic Sean Don had elderly people rocking the stage with him after he shared on “The Tonight Show” that his upcoming album ‘I Decided’ is based on an older version of himself.

“The album is basically a chance, to have that wisdom of an old man while you’re young, and going through life to figure it out,” he said on “The Tonight Show.”

The Detroit player will drop his forthcoming album ‘I Decided’ on all platforms this Friday. The album will include contributions from Twenty88 (a.k.a. himself and Jhene Aiko), Migos, Jeremih, The Dream, and fellow D-Town player, Eminem.
