'I Decided' - Big Sean

Unlike other hip-hop artists, Big Sean has been trying to keep his new music as a whole quiet. And while he dropped a couple of tracks, he's been fairly under the radar regarding I Decided. But while the last few days have seen him revealing breadcrumbs toward what the album is going to be, he's proven that even in a world where information is thrown at you in a 24-hour news cycle and leaks go down so easily, that good things come to those who wait. And we saw that as he started to reveal a tiny snippets of I Decided on Instagram.

Whether it was that time he was trying to get the bridge of "Owe Me" right or the fact he'd do recording sessions on the bus during his European tour, Sean really went the extra mile to make the follow-up to 2015's Dark Sky Paradise and last year's collab effort with bae, Jhene Aiko, Twenty88, the closest to perfect he can. And you can hear that so far with his two singles, "Moves" and "Bounce Back" — a song that he's said could relate to Harry Potter's story. I Decided is meant to be very introspective, but that doesn't mean that there aren't great beats on it to bump around to.
