Bas is delivering plenty of different sounds and quality.

Bas is one of Dreamville's best talents without a doubt, as he can bring a wide range of sounds to the table. The Sudanese talent has been hard at work over the past five years to perfect the approach to his fourth studio album, We Only Talk About Real S*** When We're F****d Up. Nearly over the past year, he has been dropping singles for this effort. It began back in late January with "Diamonds," and ended in November with "179 Deli."

The title of this album aptly refers to the messages of some of the tracks here. He talks about the troubling times in the Middle East on "Khartoum." "Ho Chi Minh" sees Bas talk about what has been weighing on him and how needs to remain strong within himself. Throughout this collection of songs, he brings the hottest sounds and artists from those genres.
