So here I am cleaning my house and I’ve got Big Sean and Metro Boomin’s “Double or Nothing” album, released Friday, going in the background. First of all, I have to say I have never felt more like a Detroiter after hearing Diana Ross, Lori Perry* (by way of samples) and Kash Doll on the same project. But second, one verse caught my attention.

“I’m less focused on props and more on property

To put so much back in my hood that I change the economy

I’m bout to build a movie theater downtown properly

And help revive the heart of the city, just keep on watching me”

Pause.

Did Big Sean just casually drop some economic development plans in the middle of a song?
