Finally Famous

VINYL FORMAT. 22-year old Sean Anderson started rapping as a 12-year old at the progressive Waldorf School in Detroit. In high school, he and a friend formed a duo, entered and won the "Friday Night Cipher" MC contest at hip-hop radio giant Hot 102.7. The win earned them a spot to rap live on-air every Friday night for nearly a year. It was on one of those Friday nights around 2005 that Sean encountered Kanye West, back in the Late Registration-era, who agreed to hear the teenager's freestyle. It was the contact of a lifetime, which led to Sean's signing with G.O.O.D. Music in late 2007, and his subsequent signing to Def Jam in 2008.

Finally Famous: The Album is Big Sean's official debut, following his trilogy of Finally Famous mixtapes. – Artist Direct
