His debut album, Finally Famous, was released in June 2011 and featured guest appearances from hip hop superstars Kanye West, Chris Brown, Pharrell Williams, The-Dream, Wiz Khalifa, and Lupe Fiasco.
He was raised by his mother and grandparents who worked steadfastly to instill in him the principles of hard work and determination. Sean attended the Detroit Waldorf School, a school of art, from Kindergarten to 8th Grade where he was in 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 a call from Kanye West himself saying that he wanted to sign him. Two years later, West signed Big Sean to GOOD Music. Sean has cited West, Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., and J Dilla as his influences.
On September 30, 2007, Big Sean released his first official mixtape Finally Famous: The Mixtape. His hit single, "Get'cha Some", produced by WrighTrax, attained media attention and led to articles in The Source and the Detroit Metro Times. He also recorded a music video for "Get'cha Some", which was directed by Hype Williams. Sean released a second mixtape hosted by Mick Boogie on April 16, 2009, called UKNOWBIGSEAN. It featured the songs "Million Dollars", "Get'cha Some" and "Supa Dupa". This mixtape includes 30 tracks. Sean released a third mixtape hosted by Don Cannon on August 31, 2010, called Finally Famous Vol. 3: BIG, which features include major artists like Bun B, Chip tha Ripper, Curren$y, Tyga, Drake, Mike Posner, Chuck Inglish, Asher Roth, Dom Kennedy, and Chiddy Bang. The mixtape includes 20 tracks.
Finally Famous, Sean's debut studio album, was released June 28, 2011, and spawned three hit singles; "My Last", "Marvin & Chardonnay" and "Dance (Ass)". The album featured guest appearances from Lupe Fiasco, John Legend, Pharrell, Kanye West, Roscoe Dash, Wiz Khalifa, Chiddy Bang, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Pusha T, and included production from No I.D., The Legendary Traxster, Andrew "Pop" Wansel, Xaphoon Jones and The Neptunes. When the songs "O.T.T.R." and "Flowers" were leaked in July 2011, speculation began of a new mixtape. Sean confirmed in an interview on June 28, 2011, that a collaborative mixtape between him and "two other guys in hip-hop that are just killing it right now" will be released "in a couple of weeks". Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y were the suspected featured rappers on the mixtape. However, Wiz Khalifa later confirmed that there would be no mixtape, claiming that the songs were created, "just for fun".
In September 2011, Big Sean confirmed in an interview with the Daily Tribune that he'll be working on his second album during the I Am Finally Famous Tour and plans to release the album sometime in 2012. On October 19, 2011, Kanye West announced on his Twitter plans for a Spring 2012 GOOD Music album release. On April 6, 2012, "Mercy", the lead single from the GOOD Music compilation album, Cruel Summer, was released. The song, produced by newly signed in-house producer Lifted, features Big Sean along with Kanye West, Pusha T, and southern rapper 2 Chainz. Big Sean then announced his fourth mixtape would be titled "Detroit" and would serve as a lead-in to his second studio album. He then began promoting the mixtape, releasing short versions of the songs on his YouTube page. On September 5, 2012, Big Sean released the mixtape Detroit which features guest appearances from fellow rappers J. Cole, Juicy J, King Chip, French Montana, Royce da 5'9", Kendrick Lamar, and Tyga.
Big Sean pushed back the release date of his second studio album Hall of Fame which was eventually released on August 27, 2013. The album has skits to give it a "classic feel", and includes features from multiple artists, including Lil Wayne, Miguel, and Nas. The album's production was primarily handled by No I.D., and Key Wane along with additional production from Hit-Boy, Da Internz, Mike Dean, Travis Scott, Xaphoon Jones, and Young Chop among others. Big Sean also stated in an interview that he was in the studio with fellow Detroit native Eminem. Sean went on to say they made a "Detroit classic" but he is unsure if it will be on Hall of Fame because of "timing issues". Hall of Fame spawned five singles, "Guap", "Switch Up" featuring Common, "Beware" featuring Jhené Aiko and Lil Wayne, "Fire", and "Ashley" featuring Miguel.
A month prior to the release of Hall of Fame, Big Sean told Complex that he had already begun work on his third album due to the inspiration from his new relationship. On September 12, 2014, Big Sean announced that he had signed a management deal with Roc Nation. Later that same day he released four new songs titled, "I Don't Fuck with You", "Paradise", "4th Quarter" and "Jit/Juke".

In an interview with Sway Calloway, Sean confirmed that Lil Wayne will be featured on the album.

The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, marking his third number-one album.
On September 17, 2020, Big Sean revealed in a Reddit AMA that another Twenty88 album is "in the works". A track attributed to the project appeared on Detroit 2. He has also announced that he plans on launching his own record label. On October 29, 2021, Big Sean announced on Twitter that after 14 years, he has stepped away from Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label, saying "That's a forever brotherhood, but business-wise, I had to start getting a bigger cut! I worked my way out that deal." West also claimed during a November 2021 Drink Champs podcast that signing Sean was the 'worst decision' of his entire career.
Starting in 2020, Big Sean has appeared in the Showtime series 'Twenties' in a recurring role as Trsitan, an anti-social media character who learns the value of online connection. In October 2021, Big Sean, in collaboration with rapper and producer Hit-Boy released an EP entitled What You Expect.

The series was released during Mental Health Awareness Month and featured a conversation between Big Sean and his mother, educator Myra Anderson, about the intersection between wellness and mental health, including topics like meditation, sleep, and emotional freedom techniques.
First Chain
Big Sean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who knew from that concrete that a rose had arose
Good girls stopped being good when I turned 'em into hos
Dreams stopped being dreams when I turned 'em into goals
BIG was the first one that had it
Then I saw Nas' chain, man, that was Illmatic
Then I saw Kanye's hanging from his gold necklace
Then Ye gave me mine, that show you my work ethic
Used to pick me up from school right after work
Now she rolling up in that Caddy like she coming to church
She's ask why I rock all this gold, cause I'm coming in first
Got the streets behind me like I was staring in the rear view
Used to have to take showers standing in the mildew
Now I'm in the penthouse, look what a mill do
Looking in the mirror and I'm still you, I'm still you
Got my first chain
Feeling like I got my first chain
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
BIG was the first one that had it
Now Jacob the Jeweler benefit from my habits
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
What's the noise all about with this rap stuff
I can say I never been punked, robbed or smacked up
I can say I never been chased, jumped or backed up
I learned to patch it up to get passes to niggas who be acting up
Cause it's a mental game, I learned that when I got my first initial chain
I didn't fake it, it was gold plated, I was posing relatin'
To those dealing with blow, had the big gold bow acres it was those gangsters
That bonus, that culture, those projects
Shiny shit on their necks, making both of my eyes squint
They got in my bones, now I'm coppin' stones
Sorry Sierra Leone, one day we'll right the wrongs
18 karat gold Cuban on, not too short, not too wide, not too long
My pendant offensive, in the truest form
Platinum gold, rose gold, what you want?
Got my first chain
Feeling like I got my first chain
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
BIG was the first one that had it
Then I saw Nas' chain, man, that was illmatic
And I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
On a highway to heaven, look at all the tolls I paid
I done gave my city drive all the roads I paved
No matter what why I turn things go my way
I'm rocking chains everyday, so you know I slave
Even when I'm just walking 'round the crib, nigga
To remind me of everything that we did, nigga
Look up in the mirror, chain only thing lyin'
No heroes where I'm from, bullets only thing flying
I know the higher that I go, the harder to climb
But after that, the bigger the muscle and smarter the mind
Police only work 12-hour shifts
Cause in Detroit that's cheaper than the bailout, bitch
Trap house built brick by brick, paid dues on dues
FF good, you know I'm reppin' crew on crews
Stack bills on bills till my backyards got pools on pools
Girls on girls, lingerie and Moulin Rouge
God damn, I think I'm gon' O.D.
Off this asparagus and bread and pasta
Need a doctor, I've been dogding shady hoes and rainy days
It's like I got a built-in doppler
And it's a shame, a fuckin' shame
I don't remember my first love or my first time prayin'
But remember my first ass and the first time she came
It almost felt as good as when I got my first chain
Got my first chain
When I got my first chain
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
Jay-Z taught me money ain't a thing
Came from the streets, headed to the hall of fame
And I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
Stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
It's such a wonderful thing, to see the end of all things
Niggas and bitches, where you at?
I got my mind is on me
A couple others and dreams, would've seen me
Me and my niggas in this bitch
About two months in a week's time
Movin, feelin hellish to dolly with lemon, lime shine
Now how the fuck can I chill now?
Kanye think I'm dope
See this piece that I own now
How sick is the rope?
Taking life for what it is
The troublesome chick, who throws fists
Sometimes it's the weather
Things switch up, people trip up
The money come down, then climb up
But when it come again
The most creepin', deceivin', men are scheme-schemin'
Saying that you love me, you surely do and if you don't
Motherfuck that sometimes
So dead it, shred it
Young nigga lost to the night
I'm so ready to let it go
My life is fucking awesome, I could be fuckin' dead right now
But I'm awesome
So fuck whoever has a bad thought
Don't know the god
Cause when I leave this bitch you all gon' wish you knew the god
It might be too late, but the song's will live on
Just know this fact, you were all wrong
Now watch me do my silly dance
Not really a dance, more like a prance
I'm signing off with a crotch grab
Thank you man, for letting me get on this record Sean
You the coolest
G.O.O.D. music nigga forever
Understand?
Yum
The lyrics to Big Sean's song "First Chain" are a powerful reflection on his journey from a tough childhood in Detroit to achieving fame and success as a rapper. The first verse speaks to the difficult environment in which he grew up, where young men can easily lose their lives to violence. But despite this bleak reality, he sees that something beautiful can arise from the most unlikely of places, comparing his own transformation to a rose growing from concrete. He also acknowledges the negative impact that his newfound success has had on some of the people around him, turning good girls into hos and dreams into goals.
The chorus of the song is an exultant celebration of Big Sean's first chain, an emblem of his success and hard work. He describes the other rappers who he looked up to and emulated, from the legendary Biggie Smalls to Kanye West and Nas, and how each of them had a distinct style that he admired. He also mentions the role that his mother played in his life, going from driving a beat-up car to owning a Cadillac, and how this upward mobility has influenced his desire to always come in first.
The song ends with a more introspective verse, where Big Sean discusses the challenges of fame and wealth and the toll that they can take on one's spirit. He acknowledges the power of money but reminds himself that it's not everything, and that true success is measured by more than material possessions. Overall, "First Chain" is a deeply personal reflection on the meaning of success and the price that one pays to achieve it.

Coming from a city where bullets turn bro's into souls
I come from a city where violence and guns take away the lives of close friends
Who knew from that concrete that a rose had arose
Nobody expected something beautiful to emerge from the harsh environment I grew up in

Dreams stopped being dreams when I turned 'em into goals
Once I started taking my dreams seriously and working towards them, they transformed into achievable goals

Mom had that hooptie that she ran in the dirt
My mom used to drive a beat-up car that she drove in tough conditions
Used to pick me up from school right after work
Despite her busy schedule, my mom would always make time to pick me up from school

Looking in the mirror and I'm still you, I'm still you
Despite all the changes and success, I still see my true self when I look in the mirror

I can confidently state that I've never been pursued, attacked, or intimidated by others
I learned to patch it up to get passes to niggas who be acting up
I've learned how to settle conflicts and maintain good relationships with people who are prone to causing trouble
Cause it's a mental game, I learned that when I got my first initial chain

I didn't fake it, it was gold plated, I was posing relatin'

To those dealing with blow, had the big gold bow acres it was those gangsters
I felt a sense of belonging and kinship with those involved in illegal activities and the gang culture, symbolized by their large, gold jewelry
That bonus, that culture, those projects
That extravagant display, that lifestyle, those housing projects
Shiny shit on their necks, making both of my eyes squint
The flashy and valuable chains around their necks were so dazzling and impressive that it caused me to squint my eyes
They got in my bones, now I'm coppin' stones
I was deeply influenced and inspired by them, and now I'm buying expensive jewelry myself
Sorry Sierra Leone, one day we'll right the wrongs
I apologize to the country of Sierra Leone, which has suffered due to the mining of conflict diamonds, and I hope that one day we can correct the injustices

To remind me of everything that we did, nigga
I wear my chains to remind me of all the hard work and struggles I've overcome to reach this point
Look up in the mirror, chain only thing lyin'
When I look in the mirror, my chain is the only thing that truly reflects the success and accomplishments in my life
No heroes where I'm from, bullets only thing flying
In my hometown, there are no heroes or role models, only violence and the sound of bullets
I know the higher that I go, the harder to climb
I understand that the more success I achieve, the more difficult it becomes to maintain and continue climbing to new heights
But after that, the bigger the muscle and smarter the mind
But once I overcome those challenges, I'll become stronger physically and mentally
Police only work 12-hour shifts
In a place like Detroit, the police can only afford to work 12-hour shifts due to budget constraints
Cause in Detroit that's cheaper than the bailout, bitch

Off this asparagus and bread and pasta
Even though my diet consists of healthy foods like asparagus, bread, and pasta, I still feel overwhelmed by the excess and indulgence
Need a doctor, I've been dogding shady hoes and rainy days
I need someone to help me navigate through the deceitful people and difficult times I've encountered
It's like I got a built-in doppler
It feels like I have a built-in radar system that detects and warns me about upcoming trouble or negativity
And it's a shame, a fuckin' shame
It's unfortunate, a real disgrace
I don't remember my first love or my first time prayin'
I don't have clear memories of my first love or my earliest experiences with prayer
But remember my first ass and the first time she came

The pleasure and satisfaction I derived from that experience was almost as intense as the joy I felt when I acquired my first chain
Jay-Z taught me money ain't a thing
Jay-Z taught me that money is not a concern or obstacle in life
Came from the streets, headed to the hall of fame
I came from a rough background and now I'm on my way to achieving legendary status in the music industry
And I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
I continue to flaunt and show off my success as if I just got my first chain
Stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
I'm constantly showcasing and boasting about my achievements, as if I'm still experiencing the excitement of acquiring my first chain
It's such a wonderful thing, to see the end of all things
It's incredible and satisfying to witness the culmination of all my hard work and endeavors
Niggas and bitches, where you at?
I'm asking where all the people who doubted or didn't believe in me are now
I got my mind is on me
I'm focused on myself and my own success
A couple others and dreams, would've seen me
Only a few individuals and my dreams truly understood and believed in me
Me and my niggas in this bitch
Me and my close friends are making it in this industry
About two months in a week's time
Within a short period of two months, we accomplished what normally takes a week
Movin, feelin hellish to dolly with lemon, lime shine
We're making significant progress and achieving success, feeling both chaotic and glamorous at the same time
Now how the fuck can I chill now?
Considering the fast pace and excitement of my life, it's hard for me to relax
Kanye think I'm dope
Kanye West thinks highly of me and respects my talent
See this piece that I own now
Look at this expensive piece of jewelry I now possess
How sick is the rope?
The chain is so impressive and valuable
Taking life for what it is
I've learned to accept and embrace life as it is
The troublesome chick, who throws fists
I've encountered difficult situations and confrontations with influential women who are not afraid to fight
Sometimes it's the weather
Sometimes external factors or circumstances can cause challenges or difficulties
Things switch up, people trip up
Situations change, and people can make mistakes or stumble
The money come down, then climb up
Financial situations fluctuate, with money coming in and going out
But when it come again
But when success and wealth come around again
The most creepin', deceivin', men are scheme-schemin'
The most cunning and deceitful individuals are always looking for opportunities to exploit and take advantage
Saying that you love me, you surely do and if you don't
People claim to love me, but some of them are dishonest or insincere
Motherfuck that sometimes
Sometimes I couldn't care less about their false love or intentions
So dead it, shred it
I completely dismiss and discard their dishonesty and false promises
Young nigga lost to the night
I, as a young black man, have experienced difficult and challenging times
I'm so ready to let it go
I'm ready to move on and release all the negativity and challenges I've faced
My life is fucking awesome, I could be fuckin' dead right now
Despite the difficulties, I acknowledge that my life is incredibly great and I could have easily been killed
But I'm awesome
But I'm amazing and successful
So fuck whoever has a bad thought
I don't care about the opinions or negative thoughts of anyone who doubts or dislikes me
Don't know the god
They don't understand or recognize the greatness and talent I possess
Cause when I leave this bitch you all gon' wish you knew the god
When I die or leave this world, everyone will regret not recognizing my greatness and talent
It might be too late, but the song's will live on
Even if it's too late for people to appreciate me, my songs and legacy will continue to exist
Just know this fact, you were all wrong
Just understand and accept the fact that everyone who doubted or underestimated me was incorrect
Now watch me do my silly dance
Now observe me as I confidently and playfully dance
Not really a dance, more like a prance
Technically, it's not a dance but more of a lively and graceful movement
I'm signing off with a crotch grab
I'm playfully ending my performance with a gesture of grabbing my crotch
Thank you man, for letting me get on this record Sean
I express gratitude to the person who allowed me to be a part of this song, Sean (referring to the artist Big Sean)
You the coolest
I acknowledge and appreciate that Sean is a very cool person
G.O.O.D. music nigga forever
I will remain associated with G.O.O.D. Music, as it will always be a part of me
Understand?
Do you comprehend and grasp the meaning behind my words?
Yum
