Some rappers take their time. Dropping a new track at the right time can require expert timing. Sometimes, it comes down to who else is releasing what and when? Is it the right time of year? Is it ready? Maybe you’re a perfectionist, and the idea of time is just an afterthought compared to the desired quality. If you happen to be Big Sean, these previous questions do not apply to you. If you are Big Sean, be sure to ignore these concerns, and maybe just go for the new single instead:
Fuck it! New music tonight! I’m just having fun wit this shit 🤟🏾🌍

Sean’s New single And Overall Swarm
Good for Big Sean. He’s certainly having fun on his new track, “What A Life.” With the aptly named Hit-Boy, Sean delivers some incredibly precise, well-timed flows on this new single. It’s great when you’re backed up by the producer of “Ni**as in Paris,” “Trophies,” and, of course, the Grammy-winning “Racks in the Middle.”
Overall, it’s an examination of where he’s come and where he’s going. He delivers lines like:
Only get one life, swear I almost died twice
I went triple platinum more than three times, what a life, man (Life)
Feel like God went and blessed me with the trick dice
Sean ends the chorus with the memorable:
Go ahead then, tell me what your price is
Mine’s is a hundred B’s, nigga, you can’t swipe this (Bitch)
Speaking of B’s, the music video is worth checking out. Suffice it to say that the video is…experimental. While it’s got your typical video goodies like Sean performing to screaming fans, rapping on rooftops, and the odd floating-above-the-city trick, it’s got something else. Remember that line about bees?
WHAT A LIFE VIDEO @ NOON! I know I said 100 B’s but it was 65,000 🐝’s 4real tho! 🌎🤟🏾✨ pic.twitter.com/9QeFJWd00u

What other rappers do you know that can sit in a high-back leather chair covered in honeymakers? At the time of writing this, it appears that Sean also got off without too many stings. In fact, he hasn’t said anything about stinging. Proof enough that his price, while high, doesn’t do him any harm.
Check out the video below. Remember, if you’re calm and don’t bother them, the bees won’t sting.
