Rapper Big Sean has revealed that being an artist means sacrificing your privacy and personal life to some extent. 

He spoke to Zane Lowe about being in the music industry, which will air in full tonight at 6pm on Apple Music, in this generation and explained that if you're going to have any degree of authenticity, you need to "make sacrifices":

"As an artist you can imagine, you make sacrifices as an artist like putting your privacy on the line. If you’re a true artist you sacrifice your privacy, you sacrifice the stories of your life you’ve been through, you sacrifice all these different emotions and you put em out there but it’s for people to relate to it’s for people to help them get through their times.”

He also opened up about his new album, entitled 'I Decided', and confessed that it's a true reflection of where he's at in his life: "This album, this is my snapshot of what I’m going through right now, what I’m feeling like. I Decided. means so many things. I feel like life is all about the decisions you make. This is what I decided. That’s why I put a period on the end of it because this is definitive."
