With Dark Sky Paradise coming just more than a week away, Big Sean has decided to whet some appetites with a special freestyle over Drake and Lil Wayne's popular recent cut "Used 2." Renamed "Used To," Big Sean adds a potent verse to the track that appears on Lil Wayne's Sorry for the Wait 2 and Drake's surprise Valentine's Day album If You're Reading This It's Too Late.
Working with the version that appears on Drake's recent album, Sean keeps Drake dealing with all the added pressure -- fitting, with all the attention Dark Sky Paradise has received -- and then flexes his lyrical muscles on his verse, via Hot New Hip Hop.
Not overdoing or overstaying his welcome on the WondeGurl-produced beat, Sean throws shade at those who passed up on him when he was coming up, but shows love to Kanye West: "F**k every OG who passed up on me and they put me on a song, / 'cept for 'Ye so I'm forever reppin' foot up on the Throne."
He uses his signature flow and poignant deliver as he caps off his verse shouting out Ariana Grande and acknowledging the hustle it took to get here:
Lady on the way, Mercedes on the way
Album on the way, rappin' like I got a baby on the way
I'm like Baby with the pay, pay me when a day
Bitches do or die, seven days a week holiday's hoe-ass bitchh

Dark Sky Paradise will be released Feb. 24 and have features from the likes of Kanye West, Jhené Aoki, Drake, Chris Brown, Ariana Grande and others. Listen to his collaboration "Blessings" with Drake to see what you are in store for.
