Last year, the rapper opened up on needing to take a break from the spotlight. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he stated “You come to a point in life where you realize that the car, the house, whatever it is that you thought you wanted, was just a temporary fix.” he expressed that what he was truly searching for was “the fulfillment only your heart and being passionate can give you.”
Detroit 2, is inspired by Sean’s hometown and the music that inspired him growing up. In the album announcement video, Sean can be heard saying “Detroit to me is home, but I feel like it’s more than just a city, it’s for real a mentality.”
