NASAAN, son of Proof, has spoken out about his involvement with Big Sean’s upcoming album, claiming that his bond with the rap star has progressed to the point that he now sometimes crashes at Sean’s house.
During his interview with AllHipHop at Sunday’s (20 June 30) 2024 BET Awards, the rapper from Atlanta discussed his involvement in assisting Sean Don with the production of his upcoming album.
You know what I meаn? Growing up, I absolutely idolized Sean, and now it’s driving me nuts. “Now we’re friends because I mimicked his flows and style so much,” he said. Like he’s my dog, I’ve been sleeping here at this place since I’ve been out here in L.A.
This is really insаne. Moments of complete fulfillment and coming close to making it a reality. Something strange is going on in the cosmos. It’s asinine. Wow, seriously. This once-favorite of mine is now enamored with me.
“I play big part in helping just curate and just giving ideas and stuff,” NASAAN revealed about Sean’s new album, further illuminating his contributions to its production. I intend to return to his place to continue working on his CD as soon as I go from here.
In our relationship, I’m taking care of it. It is expected to be released in late summer, though. A sense of anticipation fills me. Like I mentioned before, he sees the superstar within me. He seems to merely wish to cultivate that.
While not much is known about Big Sean’s upcoming album, he did mention that it was “coming soon” at his March Tiny Desk Concert for NPR.
Along with his son Noah, who turned one in November, he debuted an unreleased single titled “Get Up” during that show. The song borrows Jodeci’s “Get On Up” and is dedicated to him.
His upcoming project’s lead track, “Precision,” which samples Three 6 Mafia’s “Poppin’ My Collar,” was also released by the rapper who was formerly signed to G.O.O.D. Music.
In terms of NASAAN, the rising MC just dropped his first album, Error 404, which features production from fellow Detroiters Royce Da 5’9″, BabyTron, and Icewear Vezzo.Some new music may be on the horizon; NASAAN has hinted at this and counts Eminem, a close friend of his late father’s, as a mentor, in addition to Big Sean.
“We got some crаp, we got some stuff,” he claimed last month in an interview with Off the Porch. “I got some stuff from him. I don’t want to bring it up too often because whenever I do, I end up in hоt water. “I am not going to comment on it.”
“I feel like I’ve known the n-gga forever,” Proof’s son said, reflecting on his upbringing in Slim Shady’s company. Because, you know, I was never really into their music, I just really began to appreciate him as I got older.
I suppose my pallet was a bit different while I was building it because, as I mentioned before, I grew up in Atlanta. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, I began to appreciate their music and thought, “Wow, this n-gga really raps.”
