Big Sean Shares New Video for “Light” f/ Jeremih
Just days after Jeremih dropped a video for his Big Sean collaboration “I Think of You,” the pair has reunited. On Friday, with just a few hours’ warning, Sean dropped a video for his pairing with the r&b singer, “Light.”
“Light” is the first full song (following an intro) on Sean’s latest album I Decided, which dropped this past February. It marks just the latest in a long series of collaborations for the pair.
I Decided topped the Billboard 200 when it was released, making it the Detroit rapper’s second straight number one LP, follwing 2015’s Dark Sky Paradise.
You can check out the Lawrence Lamont-directed video for “Light” above. Upon its release, Sean issued a statement about the meaning behind the clip:
“A loaded mind is more dangerous than a loaded weapon”
“We shot this video a couple months ago and sucks to see these scenes are still consistently playing out in real life…even down to this week. It’s disheartening sometimes to see that not much has changed when it comes to hate, police brutality n just overall people losing their lives too early. But when I wrote this song, it was to reassure myself that no matter what happens, they can’t take away our Soul, our confidence, our ideas, n all that makes us shine. This song isn’t a single but is still super important to me, so I paid for a lot of this outta pocket to make sure we got this out. Rest in peace to all those who have lost life due to senseless actions. As I always say, each one of us have the power to make a change, it starts within….the inner Light.”
