New Music: Big Sean f/ Mac Miller – ‘Hundred Dollar Bill Skyscraper’

Big Sean stacks his paper on “Hundred Dollar Bill Skyscraper,” his first collaboration with Mac Miller.

“As we approach dropping 3 diff projects for u guys (GOOD music album, my next studio album, and a freebie) sometimes we have some pretty good leftovers that you might like too so here u go!” tweeted Sean. “This is the 1st time me n Mac did a track together which is crazy cuz that’s been my dog. just a Lil something to ride to.”

Sidenote: When I interviewed Mac in October, he revealed how the song came togeter.

“A long time ago, Sean came to Pittsburgh to do a show and I opened for him—when I was real young. That’s how we met. And then he went on tour with Wiz and shit, so I came out there for a little bit and kicked it, and we were talking about how we need to get a song in. And then on our day off of tour, we all came to Pittsburgh and we were like, ‘Sean, you should just come to the ‘Burgh, man’. They were supposed to go to like Buffalo or something, we were like, ‘Just come to Pittsburgh, man. We’ll show you how Pittsburgh is’. So he came to the ‘Burgh, we set him up in the studio, and I came through and I was like, ‘Let’s fuckin’ do a song’. We did a song, and he just has it and he’s gonna drop it. It’s fuckin’ dope, though—very dope.”
