Three times is the charm for this Detroit
emcee, who with witty wordplay and a fresh
delivery has finally scored a solid release.
Sean displays a musical range with club
bangers like “I.D.F.W.U.,” the autobio “Win
Some, Lose Some,” and the encouraging
“One Man Can Change the World.” Though
he seems unfazed by the heavy weights featured here (E-40, Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West), the album presents perhaps too many mood shifts. Through it all, though, Sean proves to be viable and sustainable—the reason Kanye West signed him to GOOD Music.
