The reveal kick-started a special MTV Snapchat story with Big Sean, giving fans an inside look at his life on the day that he drops his third LP, "Dark Sky Paradise." The artist recently released two tracks - "One Man Can Change The World" (featuring Kanye West and John Legend) and "Win Some, Lose Some" - that immediately jumped to the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively, on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap chart. Big Sean also recently held an unprecedented four of the Top 10 songs on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap chart.

In addition to being recognized by GQ Magazine as 2012's 'Hottest Rookie' and picking up honors at the 2012 BET Awards for 'Best New Artist,' Sean received double Grammy nominations for his collaboration with mentor Kanye West for "Mercy" which also featured G.O.O.D.
