Big Sean has been working hard on his new full-length musical release, Detroit 2. Announcing the new album several months ago, the rapper told fans that he was back in the right headspace, ready to finally unleash some fresh music on us. This weekend, he posted up on Instagram Live with DJ Khaled, who played the role of an investigative music journalist, trying to uncover all the secrets hiding out about the new album.

Asking Big Sean how many songs were on the tracklist, if the cover artwork was finished, and more important queries about Detroit 2, he got some telling answers from the man of the hour.

When asked if the album would be longer than usual or if it will contain the "right amount of songs," Big Sean confirmed that the latter is more of the case this time around. DJ Khaled also asked him if the cover artwork was finished yet, to which Sean replied in the affirmative.

"Cover is done," he confirmed before noting that he sent the art to a few of rap's heavy hitters to get their thoughts on it. He says that he texted it to Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, teasing their possible involvement in the project in doing so. On the other hand though, he likely just respects their opinion so much that he wanted to see what they thought of the vibe.

While other artists are holding off on sharing their new projects, Big Sean is ready to drop. The rapper has been teasing Detroit 2 for some time, even sharing that the album may come prior to his scheduled Coachella appearance. Now that the world is on pause because of the COVID-19 quarantine, events have been canceled, but Sean told The Rap Pack that a pandemic isn't going to stop him from moving forward with his project.

"My thinking was, I was gon' drop it now," Big Sean said. “Honestly, I deal with so many other people when it comes to putting an album out. Especially when you on a label and all these things and it definitely can happen and is happening. At the same time, it's just like, we've had to readjust a few things."

The rapper said that the public has been receiving differing timelines of when the quarantine will be over, but it keeps getting extended. "People like, ‘It’s only gonna last few—It should be up by this time in April' and this. And then it just keeps expanding, right? So, you hear things about how streams are down and all these things, but I also believe in making music for a cause, for a purpose, to heal, to help, to inspire."

"I truly feel like that's why, especially this project, it got songs that relate to me right now," he added. "I feel like it's time, especially for these times that we're in. So, I do feel the responsibility to, no matter what, get it out." Are you hyped for Detroit 2?

Detroit 2 season is upon us. We still may not know exactly when the album will be released, but Big Sean delivered the good news on his birthday (March 25). After giving us singles like "Bezerk", "Single Again" and "Overtime" while making appearances on multiple tracks with girlfriend Jhené Aiko, fans are fully prepared to receive Sean's latest project. On Thursday (March 26), the rapper showed just how far his fanbase will go to show their dedication.

As he continues to celebrate his birthday week, Big Sean shared a photo of himself hanging out in the park with a group of children. One little girl had a braided hairstyle that was woven to perfection, complete with a set of beads on the bottom of her braids. If you look hard enough and swipe through the photos, you'll see that the hairstyle is inspired by a photo of the rapper.

Big Sean poses next to the design and wrote in the caption, "?????? #Detroit2." Could this be a hint that Detroit 2 is coming tonight? We'll just have to wait and see. Until then, check out the Sean Don's album announcement and his portrait created in a set of hair beads below.

As Big Sean celebrates thirty-two years on this planet, the rapper has also given a gift to the fans: an album announcement. The rapper is bringing us a second instalment in his fan-favorite mixtape Detroit, titled Detroit 2.

The first glimpse at the album comes by way of an Instagram video trailer for it. The teaser gives us a glimpse at Sean's Detroit mentality, as he big ups his city. We're also treated to new sounds, and a look at life in Detroit, and the behind-the-scenes of album creation. From the teaser, we can at least discern that it's probable Young Thug will be on the album.

In the summer, Big Sean began rolling out new music like "Bezerk", "Single Again" and "Overtime." However nothing really came of the music, so perhaps he's rewinding the clock to re-do the roll out. Time will tell what actually makes Detroit 2. No release date has been confirmed yet, stay tuned.

Check out the album trailer below and let us know what you think of the music through out. Fire? Or nah?
