US rapper shares track that didn't make new album
Tags: Big Sean
Detroit rapper Big Sean has premiered a new track, his collaboration with Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica, ahead of the release of his new album, Hall Of Fame. Listen to 'Control' below.
Due to issues clearing samples on the track, Sean has been forced to leave the track off the new album, but the tune is currently causing huge buzz on both sides of the Atlantic with its pre-Yeezus Kanye beats. The tune mixes commercial beats with twisted, squealing vocal samples and straddles a fine, but glorious, line between mainstream and underground.

Big Sean's Hall Of Fame album is set for release on 27 August 2013, and even without Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica on board, the record won't see the rapper go lonely. Other guests on the record include Ellie Goulding, Lil Wayne, Nas, Kid Cudi, Nicki Minaj, Young Jeezy, Miguel - and many more. Pharrell Williams is also believed to have contributed uncredited vocals to the album opener, 'Nothing Is Stopping You'.
