Sean reflected on becoming an author, a journey that’s been “years in the making,” according to a heartfelt Instagram post on Wednesday.
“Besides the music, another project that’s been years in the making and it’s finally time. I can’t even believe it for real,” he said. “But anyone who know me since I signed my record deal knows if you look at my old YouTubes I’ve always been about speaking from the heart, following your intuition and checking in with yourself mentally. Because that’s how I was raised.”
He continued: “That’s the upbringing that was surrounding me with my family. It was a lot of elevated thinkers. They’d give me gems and these books that I eventually read. If it wasn’t for them methods that I applied to my life, I for sure wouldn’t be here today, period.”
Tons of support flooded Sean’s Instagram comment section as Ab-Soul, Royce Da 5’9″, Hit-Boy, Key Wane and more showed love to the Detroit rapper on his latest endeavor.
Big Sean also saluted acclaimed authors such as Deepak Chopra, Sadhguru, Esther and Jerry Hicks, Bell Hooks and others for instilling knowledge and inspiring him along the way. He credited Jay Shetty, whose podcast he appeared on in 2022, with putting the battery in his back to pen a book.
“I took all the lessons I learned, all the philosophies mixed with real-life experiences and condensed what works for me into these five strategies that really will teach you what success mean to you and show you what your purpose is if you don’t already know,” he explained about Go Higher.
On the music side, Big Sean returned from hiatus with the fiery “Precision” last month and he’s in album mode with an LP slated to arrive later in 2024.
