New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The 7x BET Award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated hip hop powerhouse Big Sean unleashes his highly anticipated sixth studio album Better Me Than You via Def Jam Recordings/Universal Music Canada. The album marks a triumphant return for the artist as his first full length solo project since the PLATINUM-certified Detroit 2. In tandem with the album's eagerly awaited release, Sean dropped the official music video for "Who You Are (Superstar)" starring Amine, Dylan Patel, Jazz Cartier, Mark Phillips, and Taye Diggs.
With Better Me Than You, Sean takes the listener through a 21-track journey toward self-exploration, responsibility, and coming to terms with (while enjoying) the complexity and wonder of the human experience. As he previously explained on X (formerly known as Twitter), four pillars act as the album's compass represented by a spectrum of color: during the creation of the album Sean went through the PRESSURE (red) that gave him the CLARITY (aqua blue) to gain FOCUS (green) that brought him HAPPINESS (yellow gold).
To celebrate the album's release, the GRAMMY Museum®'s "A Conversation With Big Sean" at their Clive Davis Theater takes place tonight for a sold-out evening of conversation about the new album, his creative process, and more.
Next week, Complex LA will be hosting an exclusive pop-up on Thursday, September 5 offering fans the opportunity to shop the album and exclusive merchandise including a collaboration with Billionaire Boys Club. For more information, please visit bigseanbmtypopup.splashthat.com.
