It's been quite the year for Big Sean, who dropped his third album Dark Sky Paradise and received a Grammy nomination for "One Man Can Save the World," a song dedicated to his late grandmother. To commemorate the successes he's had, Sean released "What A Year" featuring Pharrell and Detail in which he blends his appreciative sincerity with the type of punchlines that earned him a spot on XXL's favorite verses of the year list.

On the song, which was produced by Bobby Johnson, Frank Dukes, Maneesh, Detail and Amaire Johnson, Sean raps, "Recently I swear man we have so many accolades/I realize I ain't sat down not even on a Saturday/Yeah I’m going overtime, OT like it's TNT/in South America rocking Rio with RiRi/You know that's, stadium status/When you started underground you gotta make it to the attic."

Sean looks to keep the momentum going in 2016, which according to G.O.O.D. Music president Pusha T means a new album.
