The Bay Area is one of the most active places for up and coming hip-hop artists, and rapper/fashion designer Basi is no exception to the movement. He presents familiar sounds and influences we all love, but with his own personal twist.
The 22-year old creates tracks that have influences that range from jazz to boom bap, paired with stylistic tendencies of hard 808s. As a result, these intertwining styles create space within each song to showcase his lyrical content and rhymes.
For people not as familiar with Basi, his songs “Quicksand” and “Son of the Moon” most accurately represent his overall sound. Through various instrumental styles, catchy and contrasting vocal work, and collaborations, he brings a sound to the table that is authentic to himself.
