Last year ended with a lullaby for North West from Kanye, now 2015’s going out with a bang from more G.O.O.D. Music faces: Wednesday night, Big Sean and Travis Scott capped off their big years — Travis with his debut album, and Sean with his Grammy-nominated third — by releasing freebies with two headline-grabbers. On “What a Year,†Big Sean’s feeling reflective with Pharrell (who probably wants to forget this year ever happened), listing his accomplishments and throwing more questionable shade at his ex (“This year I’m done with crazy hos / If it’s one thing I hate it’s lazy hosâ€), in case you forgot Ariana Grande even dated him this year.
Meanwhile, Travis Scott’s too busy making things happen at the late show with 2015’s breakout star, the Weeknd, to pay attention to those pesky rumors that he’s responsible for Rihanna’s album delay. When all the Champagne’s gone and everyone you’re with on New Year’s Eve can no longer feel their faces, that’s the time to drop this baby. And if that’s not enough, follow it up with “A-Team,†which definitely isn’t an Ed Sheeran cover, but you’ll be just drunk enough to think it is.
