Big Sean drops a wholesome song/music video with “On Up.” The song, which samples Jodeci’s “Get On Up,” is dedicated to his son, while the visuals are taken from the perspective of the child, featuring close friends and family (We see you, Jhené). Big Sean had this to say about the visuals on his Instagram:
One of my favorite videos, full of my favorite people, and shot by Noah’s God Dad, Lawrence Lamont. I appreciate my family being a part and especially Jhené Aiko because she was exhausted but still came through to help make this idea such a special video for me. Hopefully one day Noah will look back and see how adored he is by his family. This video doesn’t even show a fraction of that, honestly. My side of the family, being from Detroit, doesn’t get to spend as much time with Noah, but I’m glad they were here for this piece. Love to all the parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, etc. that make it happen!
Check out the music video below. Big Sean’s album, Better Me Than You, drops on August 8th.
