The “Guap” rapper reflects on the unforgettable night and speaks about turning his dreams into reality, which include buying his dream car, purchasing a house for his mother, and performing with his heroes.

“Even in high school teachers would always tell me to snap out of it or snap back to reality,” he recalls. “But I was in reality. It was as real as it could be. It just wasn’t there yet. It just wasn’t that day.”

Sean’s sophomore album Hall of Fame is due early next year.
