We ripped into his last release, which was far from extraordinary. Relying on tired tropes and ‘been done before’ vibes, Big Sean (real name Sean Anderson) has remedied that by dropping a superb tune.

Leaning on an early ‘90s-esque auditory experience, he employs a West Coast style production enriched by the content of its narrative thanks to a sample of a Jodeci classic. ‘On Up’ relives the vulnerability we all experience when we become parents and the necessity to consider ideas about who our children may become as they grow up.
Some familiar imprints in song turn up as the Mid-west rapper delves into the subject of fatherhood and selflessness, all the while questioning his legacy as a father than just his day job.
Verdict
The music is executed in a tonal like feeling, summoning familiar aspects of sentimental ideas often seen in hip-hop. The subject of becoming a parent isn’t new in the genre, with countless artists producing the same. Big Sean’s attempt is one to remember as he contributes a record that comes from a personal place.
