Big Sean is set to release his sophomore album Hall Of Fame through Kanye West's G.O.O.D music imprint, and the Detroit based rapper debuted his first single on his website last night (Oct. 25).

The song,"Guap," derives its name from a slang term for money, according to a definition found on an internet slang page, which makes sense, given his team's recent success.

Anyone familiar with the release Cruel Summer by the G.O.O.D collective will hear the similarities in the spoken word beginning -- even including a drop of "swerve," the slang that made "Mercy" a summer hit. There's also a strange island-like loop that Big Sean raps over, lending the song a softer tone.

Big Sean's Hall of Fame will be in stores Dec. 17. Listen to Big Sean's "Guap" below.
