       Big Sean is a rapper who has been underrated and mostly unknown for the past few years. though he has been signed since 2005, he never really got his recognition until early this year when he was inducted into the XXL magazine's freshman class of '10.  The special showcases the 10  most popular and new rappers of the year who have made an impact in hip hop. I never really used to listen to him until i saw him on the cover of the magazine and I was curious to see what was so great about him.
       Big Sean's real name is Sean Michael Leonard Anderson and he was born in Santa Monica, California in 1988, but he moved to Detroit, Michigan at 2 months of age. In 2005, Sean signed with Kanye West's record label, GOOD Music, after he heard Sean freestyle at a radio station interview. in 2008 Sean signed to Island Def Jam Records and has blown up since then.

       I'm excited to see where Big Sean takes his career. He is a very talented artists and his success can only grow from here. With mixtapes, features, and being sponsored by fellow artist/designer Taz Arnold, he is bound to make some noise in the music industry in the near future.  Hopefully his Finally Famous album, which releases this fall, does well and takes Big Sean to the next level.
