Singles from We Only Talk About Real Shit When We're Fucked Up

We Only Talk About Real Shit When We're Fucked Up is the fourth studio album by American rapper Bas. It was released on December 15, 2023, by Dreamville Records and Interscope Records.[1] The album features guest appearances from Adekunle Gold, AJ Tracey, Amaarae, ASAP Ferg, Blxckie, FKJ, J. Cole and Sha Sha, with production handled by a variety of producers, including J. Cole, FKJ, Boi-1da, CuBeatz, Galimatias and Kel-P, among others.[2]

The album was supported by five official singles: "Diamonds", "Passport Bros" with J. Cole, "Ho Chi Minh", "Khartoum" with Adekunle Gold, and "179 Deli" with AJ Tracey.

Release and promotion

Bas first announced the album on January 31, 2023, following the release of the album's lead single "Diamonds", via Twitter, posting a promotional cover art with the caption, "4th album".[3] Bas continued to tease the album throughout 2023 until officially announcing it further after the release of "Passport Bros".[4]

The album was officially announced on December 5, 2023, after Bas had taken to his Instagram to post the official tracklist and release date.[5] The tracklist previewed features from Adekunle Gold, AJ Tracey, Amaarae, ASAP Ferg, Blxckie, FKJ, J. Cole and Sha Sha.[6]

Singles

The album's lead single, "Diamonds" was released on January 24, 2023, with an accompanying music video.[7] The album's second single "Passport Bros" with J. Cole was released six months later on July 19, 2023,[4] with its official music video being released just hours after.[8] The album's third single "Ho Chi Minh" was released on August 19, 2023, alongside the official music video.[9] The title of the song plays homage to Ho Chi Minh, a former president of North Vietnam.[9] The album's fourth single, "Khartoum" with Adekunle Gold was released on October 24, 2023.[10] The music video was also filmed in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.[10] The album's fifth and final single, "179 Deli" with UK rapper AJ Tracey was released on November 28, 2023.[11][12][13]

Critical reception

Script error: No such module "Music ratings". Pitchfork's Dylan Green felt that the album has "more R&B melodies and heartfelt vulnerability than ever" and wrote that Bas "sounds most comfortable and self-assured when rapping next to Cole", but concluded that "as a solo artist, he winds up doing the one thing he feared most: spreading himself too thin".[14]
