The rapper, who wore a hat that read “Dilla,” an ode to J. Dilla, was earlier tagged in a social media post on X announcing the upcoming Improvised, and captioned “Long Live Dilla” – to find out why, check out the video below!
The Detroit emcee took to the mic shortly after delivering his latest offering from Eminem’s new album, Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace). On “Tobey,” Sean pays homage not just to Eminem, but to the legacy he himself is trying to pursue and create with a lingering sense of competition.

That sentiment shines through in his latest jam, which boldly reaffirms his presence in rap as hip-hop evolves this year. The new season seems to be in full swing for Sean – we can’t wait to see what the phenomenal rapper does next. Especially after hearing this little clip from Kanye’s unreleased collaboration!
