Sean Anderson (aka Big Sean) started rapping as a 12-year old at the progressive Waldorf School in Detroit.  In high school, he and a friend formed a duo, and then entered and won the "Friday Night Cipher" MC contest at hip-hop radio giant Hot 102.7. The win earned them a spot to rap live on-air every Friday night for nearly a year. It was on one of those Friday nights around 2005 that Sean encountered Kanye West who agreed to hear the teenager's freestyle.
