Big Sean has tapped into the production of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign's collaborative project, Vultures 2, for his latest single "Fighting Fires". As reported by HipHopDx, the track, which was released on SoundCloud, prominently features the beat originally from Ye and Dolla $ign's song "My Soul". The anthemic piece addresses significant themes related to mass incarceration affecting Black men and includes a poignant guest feature from Ty Dolla $ign's brother, Big TC, who is currently incarcerated for a crime he asserts he did not commit.
In contrast, Big Sean's "Fighting Fires" reflects his personal journey, signaling a retrospective look at his career and the progress he has made. The single was initially teased as a collaboration with Kanye West in July; however, the released version does not feature the renowned artist's contributions.
Fans can look forward to more new material as Big Sean is set to release his upcoming album titled Better Me Than You on August 30. This marks his first album in four years, indicating a significant return to the music scene for the Detroit rapper.
