KANYE TALKING ABOUT SIGNING BIG SEAN
In high school, Sean gained a valuable relationship with local Detroit Hip Hop station 102.7 FM; he would show his rhyming skills on a weekly basis as part of a rap battle contest the station held on a regular basis. This relationship led up to him getting his big break.
In 2005, Kanye West was doing a radio interview at 102.7 FM; hearing about this, Sean headed over to the station to meet West. After gaining a strong relationship with the station from his previous rap battle routines, he was allowed in and allowed to talk to Kanye about his rhyming skills. After leaving a demo tape and along with free styling for West, Sean left him impressed. Two years later, after months of submitting and fine-tuning Sean’s work, West finally signed Big Sean to GOOD Music.
