Watch Big Sean Cover Kanye West’s “I Wonder”

Byhiphop

Big Sean just recently released his fourth studio album, I Decided. While making his rounds to promote his new album, Sean stopped by BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Live Lounge to deliver a special performance. It’s well known that Kanye West is one of the main reasons many of us know who Big Sean is, and that West has always been a major influence and mentor to Sean. 

In an effort to show his appreciation, Big Sean performed a cover of one of West’s classics. With the help of a live band, Big Sean brought the deep album cut “I Wonder,” from 2007’s Graduation album, to life. While staying true to the format and simplicity of the track, Sean also managed to slip in a little personal twist of his own by switching West’s line, “A psychic read my lifeline / Told me in my lifetime / My name would help light up the Chicago skyline,” to shout out for his hometown of Detroit instead.
