Aug. 5, 2019 | Sidney Madden -- Back in January, Dreamville, one of rap's most formidable artist-run labels, invited a broad selection of hip-hop artists and creators to Atlanta to create the label's third compilation album, Revenge of the Dreamers III - and with Bas being one of Dreamville's most reliable wordsmiths, he was, naturally, part of that momentous camp.
But, as he was smack dab in the middle of recording his verses for ROTD3, the rapper had to hop on a plane to Washington D.C. - he had a performance date he just couldn't pass up.
"Let's get it!," Bas exclaimed, after walking straight off the plane and into his Tiny Desk concert. With only a brisk run-through with his band and back-up vocalist, Mereba, the Paris-born, Queens-bred MC delivered an energetic and comical set to an office full of fiends (Bas' endearing term for his fans, which doubles as a clothing line.)
"My new neighbor's mad cool. So shout out to Peggy," Bas joked mid-set, clarifying that the lyrics in his song "Barack Obama Special," about hating his neighbors, were written in the past. "Peggy be picking up my mail when I'm on tour."
Just like his lyrically impressive and sometimes dance-inducing Tiny Desk - peep his headbanging and seated sambas throughout - Bas always balances his bravado with a relatable sense of humility. The songs performed provide a sample of his third studio album, Milky Way, a project that charts his story through the music industry thus far, taking stock of his strides and setbacks along with way. "It's all in the timing / I had to get low, I had to get low," he sings on the chorus of "Tribe."

How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
Le guitare 🎸 il tient le timing

R24REAL Smino trashed his because they took forever to release it. It’s been damn near a year and they’re just now trying to release it like he didn’t have another album come out so he wants to redo it
@@orange1326 i know man.. they should release 2
This is it
@@orange1326 im fucking mad, i would love to see a tiny desk concert with songs from blkswn
Shxt we mos def need smi on dis
BAS!!! Tiny desk took me by surprise with this one.
Tonte Awanen they’re always surprising me with who they bring on. but i never complain :D
Yo yo yo this one is a modern classic. BAS, THE BAND, AND SINGERS WERE SO VIBING!!!
4:20.
Mereba definitely needs to do her own NPR set.
She WILL!
Fr tho
Cole needs to sign her already
Agreed!!
And she NEEDS to do Sandstorm.
Mereba’s voice sounds like when you wear white linen on a hot summer day and you get a good breeze that blows through and refreshes your whole soul. Don’t sleep on sis!
she would kill her set so much man, fr fr. i wonder when she is going to be there tho, her level of artistry hits different as a whole
Lyubomir Bonev agreed omg
Indigo Reign yes to the visionary!
Her set is up now🔥🔥
After 3yrs, still listening to this on a weekly basis. Good music, for real.
I've been FIENDING for a New Bas Album since 2018, Milky Way still in rotation!!!
@@beinerthchitivamachado9892 Fiends 🤘🤘🤘
2023 yeah
I met Bas when he was at Flex in Vienna. When I say Bas is a cool guy, I mean it. He took pics with EVERYONE who wanted to, stopped and had quick talks with people.. He even offered his bottle of Henny haha.. I told Bas he should do a tiny desk and here he is! I'm ready for that new shit!!!
Oida wie konnt ich das nur verpassen :(
Bas be doing the most in dreamville, too high to riot and milky way are both fire
Makhosini Siyabonga Nzima I love too high to riot one of my favorite albums but I’ll never forget how hard cole went on the last verse of night job
Makhosini Siyabonga Nzima not to forget his new work spilled milk 🥛
a support this entirely.
Yes! Do forget about Last Winter🔥💯
Ron Gilmore is unreal on the keys🤯
We appreciate you
@WordLsBond the fact that he’s produced a handful of some of the best tracks throughout this stretch of dreamvilles timeline, and still gets overshadowed, blows my mind
It’s sad how real musicians don’t got recognition, look at Terrace Martin
He’s ridiculous on keys bro
I honestly was blown away even at the rendition of Mario Cart and now I want to hear the rest of it.
Can we plllllllllzzzz have Ari Lennox next omg. Such great work Bas!!!!! Dreamville!!!!!
Updated Oct 2nd: they came thru for us yall! Thanks NPR!!!
RayVen J yo she would absolutely kill it on here. 💯🔥
Give em’ a week!✊🏾
Plssss
She came through... Did you see it
6:20 that tom misch sample sounds so amazing...... s/o to all the good music lovers. Representing South Africa
what Tom Misch song is the sample from???
@@robertchapman4852 Come back in beat tape 2
Bas is super underrated. Went to his venue in Miami, vibes were so amazing. Would love to see him again live.
Enjoying fresh #bars from Sir Bas...Listening all the way from South Africa @ 11:19 morning.
I'm in Virginia, USA, and it still fees as far from New York city as South Africa! Thank goodness for the internet!

It's sad that people don't see that Dreamville is bigger than just J.Cole
and some people say Cole is the only one with talent in dreamville.... crazy man
@@herb5078 who is saying that lol
@@MyPimpinAfro14 For real. I don't know who tf said either of those things
I’m sure they're aware now. J Cole made sure of that this year.
Yeah who said that ???
Waking up to a fresh tiny desk with none other than BAS? Am i dreaming?
No you are dreamvilling!!
This unplugged version of Tribe is so smooth & sweet. Tiny Desk killed it again
"Barack Obama Special" has always been one of my faves on Milky Way, but this performance gave me a new appreciation for Purge 🧡🧡🧡
This version of Designer is such a pleasing gift to this troubled world.
Mereba 👀. She must be signed to Dreamville on the low
Sean Eboss definitely part of the family 👌🏻
Sean Eboss On God ✊
I swear
I am obsessed with Revenge of the Dreamers part 3 right now. Can't listen to anything else and Bas definitely makes his mark on it!
shes part of spillage village w earthgang and jid so she definitely hang around da dreamville fam .
IF YALL DONT KNOW ABOUT MEREBA LISTEN TO HER SONG SANDSTORM FT. JID
Absolutely beautiful. Gives you Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway vibes.
@@December_baby04 thank you for listening to it :)
Or her COLORS performance of Stay Tru
that track is just so good
pure vibes🌌
Oh no you di'in't! Lizzo and Bas in the same week?!! Get out of my mind!!!
Grayjing Hutongz I SWEEEEAR
Exactly 😍🥰😍
At least I'm safe inside my mind 🧽
Tiny desks make me so happy, pure joy
Bas wearing those sunglasses so we can finally see the tiny desk crowd
Bas is definitely in my Top 3 for Dreamville artists 🔥🙌🏾.
NPR we need EarthGang on this immediately!!
considering how good his last project was (Milky Way) I’m really looking forward to Spilled Milk
Daniela Lopez never understood what’s up with him and milk/Dairy
Yesss I still listen to it !
@@santiagoc8101 yessirrrrr
This ages like fine wine, I’ll tell ya! Appreciate Bas & NPR for letting a real one come up to show worth, timeless.
Big Krit, Bas, and Mac Miller are definitely my favorite tiny desks. I’ve been waiting for this.
I wish intimate shows like this were still around.
You must not have seen the Anderson .Paak episode...
The Anderson Paak and this one are my favorites for sure
Also the The Roots performance, one you cant just ignore
faith H Anderson Paak has the best tiny desk
This set is only 4 tracks too. Incredible. I want more lol.
the drummer was so impressed throughout the whole thing, you can tell
2 years later and still great!! 🤘🏼👍🏼
Dreamville up in this b 🙌🏾 Seeing Bas up here really made my day. Great band too! And Mereba I see you
been waiting for this 🙌🏻 Bas on another level🥛🌊 #Dreamville 🔥
Stop lying, no one expected this
Olivetson Safeway he actually posted a picture of him performing at tiny desk on his IG a couple months ago...soo he was waiting for this.
Sounds exactly like on the records .. Sign of a great artist
I've been following Bas since ROD 1 and Last Winter. His growth is amazing!
Bas is so slept on. Loving these live renditions. real Musicians
Bas is my favourite outta dreamville man. Bassy
I love this rendition of Tribe. Thanks Bas & crew.
I really appreciate that the names of all the musicians are put in the description now regardless of if there was a point where they were introduced in the video or not.
Purge heals my soul Everytime I hear it
I always like npr version of any song they should be the original
ITS FINALLY UP!!!! I’ve been waiting for what feels like 84 years!!
Bas one of my favourite artists of all time
He's been my favourite rapper for 4 years straight now , never once has he dropped something not amazing 💗😭🔥
waiting for Cole now. Also kendrick
edit: also knxwledge.
Cole and Kendrick are most definitely not gonna do one
@@zainsohail01 Cole is a possibility. Kendrick however...
@@jeremiahlopez6708 yea I cant even picture Kendrick doing one
Zain S Kendrick worked with Thundercat, Robert glasper and bilal who have all done tiny desk concerts. He also probably has way more experience with live bands and orchestras than J Cole.
Why do you would say he wouldn’t do a tiny desk?
Maximus russo cole always performs with band
The groove on that second song is straight fire
Why doesn't this have way more views. Seriously one of the best tiny desks
Yes!!!! Yes yes yes!! If you ain't up on Bas, now is the time to get acquainted.
The guitarist Nathan Foley now doing magic with SMINO! Love that NATE MAGIC!
That Tom Misch flip on "Designer" is FIIIYYYAAAAA!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Never heard of Bas before...this was dope...Purge's melody got me. Thanks NPR TD!
Good start to the day! Blessings n respect Bas! Nuff love from JAMAICA 🇯🇲
This sounded incredible. The band was awesome and Bas seems like a chill dude, he killed it. Kudos.
9:20 "Dont get me sued my boi... Nintendo coming for us"
Lmao this guy😂😂
Their musicianship is phenomenal
When I go to heaven I want this version of Tribe to be playing.. thank you NPR
Bas is sooo underrated, great guy and great music
Great npr from Bas , underrated in dreamville imo and underrated as a Genral rapper , I also wish he could’ve done the too high to Riot song , the title track . Great rapper , great vid
Absolute fire. Bas is a problem. Cole's a genius for putting him on the squad.
Saw Bas live last night and I urge you all to go when he hits your city. Super nice dude as well as being a great live act. Lute also went off on his warm up set.
Dreamville please send Ari to Auckland next!
Wish he done Clouds..
Tribe sounds so beautiful
Man, I listen to 'Tribe' every time I'm driving, keep up the good work
One of the best NPR TinyDesk Concerts. This dude's album is out of this world.
GOOD SHIT NPR, man you guys are lowkey getting some pretty big names recently. Thank you so much for this!!!!! you guys rock
High-key
Hard to go back to listening to normal music after running through like 5 of these Tiny desk performances. Music just hits different with the instruments live
The whole band is amazing here. what a great concert.
This is still on my top 5 NPR Performances. Love Bas!
NPR never fails to deliver. I love BAS !!
Bas will always be my fav artist!
This album sounds really good from front to back. There’s so much replay value, too bad lots of people slept on it last year due to so many great releases. Mereba’s vocals are so smooth!
I've been listening to Tribe all summer, so glad to have this Tiny Desk version
shoutout to Peggy getting the mail for Bas! lol that was classic
Bas is the coolest person I've ever seen
Dammit NPR, I was just about to go to sleep.
“That’s how you feel” pure happiness, love from Kenya
This is spectacular! Never heard of dude! His band is ridic! Vocalist, well is a vocalist! What else is left to say?
regina mapp : haha welcome bas is a little jewel who never gets old
@@hectora5048 I agree!!
This is fire wow... Bas been around a minute, finally getting the recognition he deserves.
Dont wanna lie, TRIBE was so melodious. Wow ,that was so phenomenal.
Deadass saw this guy live.. Still one of the greatest nights of my life
One of the dopest MC's on Dreamville
Just smiled through this whole thing, Bas has such wonderful music
I never clicked on something so fast in my life. Feel like playing Mac's concert next
Deserves way more views. Such an underrated artist!!
Effortlessly dope. 🔥
Tribe just always puts me in a good mood. Anywhere I hear this song, it makes me want to just groove with my eyes closed, hair out, and w/ a huge grin on my face. Not caring about who’s around or who’s watching. Beautiful set Bas!
It’s finally out! I feel this could’ve been way longer and finished it with Clouds Never Get Old.
Bruh im so sad it was just milkyway songs could done so much more
Dominique Gary can’t do that without the hics
ConfidentBlackMan1 perfect opportunity to get people on his previous album.
avonbarksdale91 very true! At least we have some new Bas dropping tonight though!
Too good live. He should be so popular and a bigger or more appreciated artist. Keep it up Bas !
There’s gotta be a longer version of this right?!
Here’s NPR showing me a new artist I’ve never heard before and make me feel like I already love them
Bas is an amazing artist, in my opinion he has no weak songs and actually he’s one of my favorite rappers he was my most streamed artists on Spotify on 2019
I am soooo blissed out because of this music, these people ahhhh....
That Mario joint Ron was playing was so pleasant, oh man.
YALL REALLY DOING YALL THING WITH THESE ARTIST I LOVE THIS MAAAAN
Vibing to this at the office. Goddamn Bas's delivery is so slick.
BAS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH so proud you made it to tiny desk - I hope this gets you the recognition you deserve, keep making music your albums have carried me through some hard times 🙏
Tiny Desk is too dope!
I snapped when Barack Obama special was 1st . It’s All I listen to everyday . & Ron Was COOKING at the end on the keys 🔥
