He is right at home on this album, for instance I really enjoyed Tribe with J.Cole. Its a vibe Bas should try to attain more often because he really suits Published.While Bas flow or lyricism isnt exactly unique, occasionally he does have an excellent idea for a track.
Unfortunately, typically these ideas are executed as averagely as possible.
