Big Sean to play one-off Joburg event
Hip-hop star Big Sean will makes his first South African stage appearance on 1 February, 2014, when he plays a one-off event at Gallagher Estate, Joburg.
Big Sean's first visit to SA and Africa follows hot on the heels of the star's second studio album, "Hall of Fame", selling 72 000 copies in its first week of release in August.
The artist's career has exploded in the two years since his debut album, "Finally Famous: The Mixtape", in 2011. After record first-week sales and raving reviews in Rolling Stone and just about everywhere else, it also spun off crossover hits with, among others, West and Roscoe Dash, Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj. GQ Magazine's Hottest Rookie of 2012 now has a Facebook following pushing 3 million, close to 4 million Twitter followers and no less than 46 million YouTube views worldwide.
The MC from Detroit, Michigan, has come a long way since free styling for Kanye West in 2005. Rapping since his pre-teens, Sean Anderson won an MC contest at a local hip hop radio station, earning a spot to rap live on air every Friday night for nearly a year. It was here that he made a lifetime contact in West who agreed to hear his freestyle. Following a mentorship from West, Sean signed with G.O.O.D. Music in 2007 and Def Jam in 2008.
Most recent accolades are double Grammy nominations for Mercy, his collaboration with West, his mentor, and which also featured label mate Pusha T and 2 Chainz.
Tickets are on sale for: General - R350, Golden Circle - R550 at Computicket.
