Big Sean’s Dark Sky Paradise is just days away from being released, but he’s already got a few great reasons to celebrate.
The rapper held a listening session for his latest album recently, a star-studded event that brought out one of Sean’s idols.
“Hearing Hov say, ‘Great job on this album!’ and then NOT waking up in my bed in Detroit at my mom’s house was awesome,” Sean said of this dream-come-true in the caption.
Sean’s managed by Jay Z’s Roc Nation, a move that was announced late last year.
