The year of 2011 has been another great year for the Detroit hip hop scene. However, for the first time since D12 last released an album, the focal point is not on Eminem. Even during D12's run, the primary focus was Eminem. Instead, Big Sean is the new voice from Detroit.

Big Sean has been signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music for two years. After two years of waiting to release his album, Big Sean finally put it out this summer. The album has been fueled by his "My Last" hit single with Chris Brown.

Being from Detroit has been a badge of honor for Big Sean. When he returned to the city, after promoting his album, he was awarded the keys of the city. This reward made his grandmother, with whom he is very close with, very happy.

Big Sean said he is happy to be able to become a vessel for Detroit hip hop and to carry the legacy.
