Big Sean feat. Nicki Minaj | Dance (A$$) [Remix]04.10.11
Big Sean’s third “Finally Famous” single, “Dance (A$$)” is already a local favorite, but now it’s getting national traction with an official co-sign from Nicki Minaj.
“Dance (A$$)” is already charting in the lower reaches of Billboard’s R&B chart. Today, you can listen to a remix of the song with guest verses from Minaj.
Minaj once tweeted that Sean was the “most incredible new MC in the game,” so it’s only natural that she’d hop on one of his songs. Both rappers have had No. 1 songs on Billboard’s R&B chart this year — Minaj with “Moment 4 Life” and Sean with “Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay.“

The song, “Paradise,” isn’t quite as upbeat as its predecessor, “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall,” but certainly still has enough pop sensibility to receive some radio play. Take a listen to it below, and head over to iTunes to be one of the first to pre-order Mylo Xyloto.
