Anyone who is familiar with Big Sean knows that the Don isn’t someone to be messed with in terms of lyrical acrobatics. Best known for his immaculate wordplay as one of Detroit’s underrated legends, Big Sean took to reaffirming that claim on latest freestyle at On The Radar Radio.

Sporting a cap that reads ‘Dilla’ as an ode to J. Dilla, the rapper was tagged earlier in a social media post on X announcing the incoming freestyle performance with a ‘Long Live Dilla’ caption — and to know why, check out the video below!
The Detroit emcee’s microphone blazing performance comes in shortly after his latest feature on the new Eminem album, Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace). Here, on the track ‘Tobey’, Sean not only paid homage to Eminem, but also to the legacy he himself is trying to chase and create with a sense of competitiveness that is yet alive.

This sentiment shines beautifully on his latest freestyle, and is a bold reassertion of his presence in the rap game as things continue to intensify for hip hop this year. For Sean, it seems as if the rollout season is in full swing — and we cannot wait to see what’s next from this rapper extraordinaire. Especially after hearing this little snippet from an unreleased Kanye collaboration!
