This comes after Bas visited Sudan during the civil war going on there.

Paris-born and New York-raised rapper and singer Bas has not come out with a new album since 2018. However, that time appears to be coming to a close fairly soon. If you check out his Genius page, his forthcoming record looks to be due by December 31 of this year. The title of the project is also interesting.

We Only Talk About Real S*** When We’re F****d Up poses that this LP could talk about a lot of the worldwide issues going on. It is a fitting title as most people do not care or are unaware of the hardships and other catastrophes taking place every day. Bas has already given us three singles from this tape, including the summery track "Passport Bros" with Dreamville labelmate, J. Cole. This new one though refers to the civil war going on in Sudan and its capital, "Khartoum."

Quotable Lyrics:

Carrying everybody ills
This the kind of weight that break and give your body chills
I'm afraid of the feelings I'll reveal
I know everybody need me, but everybody chill
Emergency on planet Earth, I'll tell you how it feel
when your family displaced and your countrymen are killed
