There has been a lot of attention given to Kendrick Lamar's upcoming sophomore effort and the battle that Lil Wayne faces trying to free his album Tha Carter V from the clutches of Cash Money Records. Lost in the hip-hop album shuffle has been Big Sean and an impending album that may be getting a release a lot sooner then anyone imagined. In a series of cryptic Instagram posts and tweets yesterday (Jan 25) Big Sean, Roc Nation, Drake, Jhené Aiko and others revealed that a project "Dark Sky Paradise" is in the works and could potentially be the title of his album via Miss Info TV.

When digging a little further into what the album may entail, a quick search of ASCAP yields the results of a new song titled "Dark Sky (Skyscraper)," performed by Big Sean and co-written by Sean alongside Robert Harris. The difference in name would suggest that Dark Sky Paradise is the name of the album, not the single. All of the various artists who he has relationships with promoting the potential album could be features.
Big Sean also posted on Twitter shortly before all of the Dark Sky Paradise pictures went online “done.”, which would probably be referencing to the potential album. The list of features that are coming out of the woodwork is very impressive ranging from various producers to other rappers and that does not include Kanye West and Lil Wayne who are already confirmed on the album.
