The rapper says "new singles, new album, all that"
will happen "this year."
Detroit Hip Hop artist
Big Sean recently spoke with RealTalkNY
about his Aura Gold fashion line, being engaged, and the
possibility of releasing new music in 2014.
Referencing his “1st
Quarter” freestyle while speaking on the possibility of new music,
Sean said fans can expect a “2nd Quarter” track shortly. “We in the
studio everyday, you gon’ hear Big Sean a lot,” he said. “Basically we
setting the tone this year, I’m working on my new album, I ain’t ready
to put the name out or nothing yet. We got a lot of great tracks. And
‘1st Quarter’ set the tone for a lot of it. You gon’ get that ‘2nd
Quarter,’ you might get more and more things. New singles, new album,
all that, this year.”
Speaking with RealTalkNY
at a showcase for his Spring collection, Big Sean explained the
motivation behind creating his own line of clothing in the first place.
“I was just telling this story today and it really put it all in
perspective,” he said. “When I was twenty years old I was sitting at
the table with
Kanye [West], Migo, Nerve, Verbal of the Teriyaki
Boyz, like I said, the people who design Bape.
So that’s a situation that motherfuckers would kill to be in. I was
there as a young G, not just because they believed in my spit or my
ability to rap, but they also was like, ‘This kid fresh, he got talent.’
I feel like, in that moment of time, if I didn’t have something that I
was doing on my own, like this, like Aura Gold, something that just look
good, something that’s just fresh. I feel like that would have been
like a waste of my fucking time. People could take [it] lightly now if
they want, they could think it’s just a rapper’s line of clothing, but
it’s way deeper than that. We got a lot of great designers, a lot of
people who done it for a long time and the experience and knowledge I’ve
soaked up from being around the world all shows in the clothes. It is
something of way better quality than you’d imagine, so I’m excited about
a lot of tastemakers gravitating towards it. We got a lot of 3M shit, a
lot of just cool digital camo shit. Just good ass clothes [that] I’m
just really excited about.”
During the interview, Sean also described the origins of
his brand’s name, Aura Gold. “The way I was raised, my mom was always
talking, growing up, about my aura,” he said. “‘It’s in your aura. Your
aura shine bright.’ And it just made sense, it was just something that,
you know, when you’re a little kid, it just get instilled in your head:
aura. And she would always say, ‘Your aura is the golden light around
you,’ so it just made sense, Aura Gold. And when I thought about it, and
wanted to start my own legacy and start my own clothes or whatever, I
didn’t want it to be ‘Finally
Famous,’ I didn’t want it to be what I be saying on the rap shit, I
wanted it to be something different. That’s the first thing that came
to me, and it was the best name I feel like. It’s something that just
translates man.”
Near the end of the interview, Big Sean detailed his recent
engagement to television actress Naya
Rivera. “It feels crazy to be engaged, it’s easy though, it’s one
of the easiest things I’ve done,” he said. “Naya, is just, who wouldn’t
be engaged to her, she’s just cool. We’re learning about each other,
sometimes we have problems, just like everybody, but we always work it
out. I feel like love conquers all, so we just young and living.”
