‘Freshman 10 (Freestyle),’ the only previously unreleased song added to Big Sean‘s ‘Finally Famous’ 10th anniversary edition (released June 25), has been given the video treatment courtesy of a Russell Hamilton-directed clip.

As he rides down the open road, the GRAMMY-nominated emcee reminisces on the early days of his career – particularly his inclusion in XXL’s ‘Freshman Class’ at the top of the last decade (alongside the likes of J. Cole and others).

“I gotta go back to ‘010/ When the best car I rode in was a old Benz (Swerve) / And new enemies was still old friends (Friends) /Honestly, I think it was around ’09 / The time I got the XXL cosign (Yeah) / Remember thinkin’, “I should been on the last couple years, n*gga, both times” (Both times),” he raps on the Hit-Boy-produced tune.
