Over the past year, Big Sean has emerged as one of the most likely newcomers to succeed in hip-hop. With standout lines on some of the 2012's most popular tracks such as 'Mercy' and 'Clique,' the Detroit native is taking over this year.

The 24-year-old rhymer is prepping his sophomore LP, 'Hall of Fame,' for an early 2013 arrival. Sean says the aim of this album is to teach others, which is something he didn't feel he accomplished on his first album. "If you look at people like Bob Marley or even Tupac or ‘Ye and Jay, they’ve taught in their own ways. I want to make sure I teach and leave a legacy," he told Rap-Up.

Confirmed tracks on the project will feature Kanye West and Nas with production from No I.D.
