He took to Instagram Live on Thursday night (September 3rd) to share the release of the long-awaited album. Big Sean was seen holding back tears while sharing the good news.

“It’s been a long time coming for sure. I put my first album out almost 10 years ago so… I just wanna say I appreciate it.”

The 21- track album has big collaborations including, Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, Eminem, Justin Bieber, Post Malone, the late Nipsey Hussle, and more. It also includes three songs titled “Story,” which feature comedian/actor Dave Chappelle, singer Erykah Badu, and music legend Stevie Wonder.

Ahead of its release, Big Sean was very active on Twitter to promote his new project, interact with fans, and assure them that he put time and effort into his new album.

Detroit 2 is Big Sean’s fifth studio album. His debut album, Finally Famous, was released in 2011. The Detroit rapper has been making moves and staying on top of the music charts ever since.
