Worth It
To a surprise to me and what seems like a lot of people on the internet. The Dreamville member Bas, dropped an album this week and after hearing the song he released earlier on in the week. Tribe with Cole I was very excited to see what Bas’s third studio album would bring, as the last two were fire. And after the many listens I have given it over the past two days, I like it. It grows on me with every subsequent listen. When I spoke to Carlos before the album he did point out that the Tribe by nature does sound like a J.Cole song. With both artists adopting the same J. Cole - KOD flow throughout the song. But this does not show through the rest of the album.
Bas’ signature style shines through again in this project with some great production, vocals and raps. And although this is not as good as Last Winter or Too High To Riot it still pretty good in it’s own right. I find it that Bas is very unappreciated by him being the shadow of juggernaut like Cole. With disrespectful shit being said on their YouTube videos about how Cole is the only reasons to listen to the songs they are both on. But he is a standout artist in his own right, I love the style he brings to his raps, the flow is smooth and always easy to follow. He has great bars. And is fucking consistent and this album proves this even further. Blast off and enjoy Milky Way, I sure as hell did.
