Bas also shared on his Instagram post, "I find it hard to look at these pictures, they remind me of a lifetime’s worth of stories and lessons my parents, as well as the local community, imparted on me. Stories of our traditions, our heritage, our lineage, and our pride lays here in the lands of our forefathers. The sacrifices our elders made to give us a chance at a better life, the selfless acts my parents undertook to insure I would always know where I’m from and the lands to which I must return. To understand that we’ve been granted a more bountiful life but all those roads lead home. To aid, to uplift, to use what powers Allah has granted us for the betterment of our people."

This comes after Bas’ EP drop in August, ‘Ho Chi Minh’ and his joint single with J.Cole, ‘Passport Bros’.
