Description
Two years after his sophomore album Too High To Riot Bas returns, smoothly sailing on Milky Way. The Queens-based Dreamville signee has spent much of the summer on the 26-city “Too High To Riot Tour” with fellow Dreamville members Cozz and EarthGang. The Milky Way, in contrast, is significantly more upbeat than his previous work, finding Bas rather celebratory, as he welcomes the highest point in his career thus far. Bas approaches all the tracks with the attitude of someone at total ease with their environment. Barring a few hiccups, there’s an almost nonchalance with how Bas raps that pervades the entire work and makes for an easy listening experience.
Roughly half of the tracks have featured artists, and Bas works well with each of them, at no point is he explicitly overshadowed by those assisting him. His collaborations with A$AP Ferg, J. Cole, and Ari Lennox make for some of the best songs on the album.
The production on Milky Way is handled by a myriad of beatmakers, including Childish Major, Ron Gilmore, Meez, Sango and J. Cole.
