Big Sean Returns with New Song 'Overtime': Listen

When Big Sean decided to take a break last year, he was dead serious about it.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

The Detroit rapper hasn’t released new music in a long time. Around march of 2018, Sean cancelled a tour of North America — explaining at the time that he needed to focus in the studio on his music, and moved away from the public eye. Since then, he has done a feature or two but never really jumped back in with full commitment. He also opened up about battling depression and seeking therapy earlier this year.

Sean is changing all that today with his brand new track ‘Overtime’ which he teased yesterday on social media. Right on time, the full song is here for our listening pleasure. It is produced by Hit-Boy and Key Wane — hear the bars heavy song below.

During his interview with Zane Lowe while debuting ‘Overtime’, Sean said: “I’m putting on for my city, Detroit. You know what I’m saying, I’m putting over everybody who’s been rocking with me. I got new music. There’s going to be some surprises, Bro, for sure. But just enjoy Overtime now. This is one of my favorites and like I said, we got a lot to give to the world for real.” Speaking on the new music he’s been cooking, Big Sean had revealed in April that it’s his best to date. He also called it “heartfelt” and “electrifying.”

UPDATE: Sean has also released a video for the song.
