GOD’s Got Big Sean Working Harder Then His Demons

Last week, Big Sean teased his Lil Wayne collaboration “Don Life” following a release of his collaboration with Nipsey Hussle on “Deep Reverence.”

In just five days Sean will bedropping Detroit 2, before it’s release fans are giving one more sample of what to expect on this album with new song and accompanying video “Harder Than My Demons.”

This Mike WiLL Made-It and DJ Khalil-produced track, features a standout church choir sample with uptempo drums throughout, pushing Sean to rap double-time. As he reflects on his evolution and faith, while Justin Bieber makes an uncredited vocal cameo at the end.

In the powerful video, transitions from shots in an old church to burning nooses and baptism scenes. Along with children wearing angel wings, but viewers watch a majority of the video from a low angle shot, where the subject appear above us.

Sean’s opening verse deals with his personal health (even though it might tread into anti-vaxxer territory). Also shares his thoughts on vaccinations (“No sir, I don’t even do flu shots”) and brushes off his haters. “But I gotta thank God though / ‘Cause he got me working harder than my demons.”

Detroit 2 arrives Friday, marking the sequel or follow-up to his initial Detroit mixtape released over eight years ago.

“When I was making Detroit 2, I felt like I was returning to my roots but with a stronger foundation. The music reminded me of the Detroit mixtape while I was making it,” he told New Yorkmagazine. “But I think people will be able to relate to [the album] wherever they’re from. Detroit is an inclusive city. A lot of people haven’t been, but Detroit is fun, man. That shit is the best. It ain’t bougie. It ain’t Hollywood. We real people from there.”

It’s been over three years since Sean’s last solo album, I Decided, but don’t worry, it will not take that long for a follow-up to Detroit 2. Sean said this album has inspired to keep going so expect more to be on the way. Until then check out the video below.
