I’ll never forget summer 2016. I was homeless and depressed. Drinking beyond humanly possible. Too High To Riot was the only thing I played. More specifically this, Black Owned Business and Matches got me through those nights when I slept in the car crying. Never forget just driving around letting the music sooth that pain. Used to think about ending it until I heard the project. Today I still play this music and am currently 11 months free of liquor pushing one year. Thank you Bas for saving my life with this music.

[@benkelley7397]

Yeah I discovered them off of their songs with Bas and it is hard to find their own stuff. They did a cool song with a rapper called lil simz I think.

[@avonbarksdale91]

They don't have a lot of music which means they're just getting started which is fascinating to me.

[@garyfrank5866]

BAS you've got fans in South Africa..you n Cozz are changing my life thank you

[@DAJOKA98]

Cozz n effect is in effect come get affected cozz is sick cozz can cause an affection.

[@chrisbreezy1317]

Bas's music is timeless, every time I listen to his music it's like my first time ever hearing it. Too high to riot was hands down one of the most influential albums of the year. Waiting for the day this man gets the recognition he truly deserves.

[@themisvespucci9894]

innocense lost its never the same, its never the same. Leave this world with some inspiration.

[@andrebr1148]

I started smoking weed last year (when i was 20) and heard this song for the first time while blazed as fuck during the summer. I would listen to this while laying in an open field looking at the sky, just listening to this song even while not high just reminds me a little of the vibe I had going

[@jermonz]

Somebody had to get em, I'm glad ya boy Bas did, don't sleep on The Hics, they got soul

[@francetherapper5271]

"Reached into my mind for reflection, the truth is obscure in my perception.." 🔥🔥🔥

[@HighlandEnt]

The fact that this only has 2M views in 2022 is sickening

[@Qu3ued]

I haven't found this until 2019.. the hics and bas!? I never would've thought but instant like

This project was so underrated 🤦🏾‍♂️, upsets me that it doesn’t get it’s credit. One of the best albums of the last 3 years #TOP5

[@marielachavez1522]

This song is so therapeutic for me ! 😌

[@cherishlamar9238]

"Come the grips of your intuition hear the whispers of your soul." "Live this life with some inspiration"

[@NotAGrabbaghoul]

Too High To Riot is still one of the best projects this year, Coloring Book is its only competition. So proud of the Fiend Family & BassyBadass.

[@ogarjesamdaniel6554]

you listened to malibu from anderson pakk ?

[@NotAGrabbaghoul]

Ogar jesam Daniel​ Would you recommend? Anything you could reference it to?

[@emmaaadrdxd8595]

Kanye West - The Life Of Pablo, Anderson .Paak - Malibu, Jazz Cartier - Hotel Paranoia, Vic Mensa - There's Alot Going On, Denzel Curry - Imperial, Domo Genesis - Genesis are all a great competition with Flatbush Zombies - 3001: A Laced Odyssey and Yung Lean - Warlord right behind, all great projects

[@デレク綾波]

Bas & The hics son increíbles, espero escucharlos en vivo algún día.

[@Well_Edumacated]

man I fucks with the hics, waiting on them to drop a full length

[@Garbologist]

I lost a friend of mine to a car accident and I was playing this song a lot when I heard the news.. can't play this song without thinking of him. It's a bittersweet feeling.

[@jarionmcgee1654]

This song brings me back to the simple times every time

[@EarthEagleGT]

This was my favorite song off his project

[@KollateralMTR]

ONE OF THE BEST PROJECTS OF 2016

[@owene869]

How did this song not last 5-6 minutes? It feels so short, and Bas could've had an extra long

[@owene869]

*second long verse

[@zmajor3564]

+Owen Edogiawerie penthouse straight after fits so well

[@owene869]

Zachary Major that's my favourite song on the album. But I love this song too, and it should've been extended

[@CastilloAJohn]

I think thats the point man, cause hes also missing his girlfriend. He's not whole and neither is the song.

[@avonbarksdale91]

Owen E it fits well in the album

[@PassionArtSkills2212]

I was in Paris for Too high to riot tour in 2016 Bas is very underrated France love you come back anytime you're welcome 🇨🇵❤️🔥

[@emanueldixson5645]

My mind and heart won't let me accept listening to Ricochet without Penthouse following. They were meant to be listened to simultaneously.

[@aaroncooper7935]

Kida has become a much better dancer since this video. Brilliant visuals.

[@lucaasdd]

Reached into my mind for reflection The truth is obscuring my perception So take a hit on this shit feel the resin on our fingertips And watch it billow, billow, let it go Reached into my mind for reflection The truth is obscuring my perception So take a hit on this ship filled with resin on our fingertips And watch it billow, billow, let it go [Hook: The Hics] Schedule that freely, you can pick a day We can roll em up and roll em up So I can watch everything ricochet [Verse 1: Bas] Six months since I last seen you Clip blunts in them ash trays While we speak up on them past days You know I still have faith It's been ten months since I last seen you Clip blunts in them ash trays While we speak up on them past days You know I still have faith You know I still have faith [Hook: The Hics] Schedule that freely, you can pick a day We can roll em up and roll em up Sit back and watch everything ricochet Schedule that freely, you can pick a day We can roll one up and roll one up So I can watch everything ricochet (Reached into my mind Reached in, reached into, to my, to my mind Let it, let it) [Verse 2: Bas] Innocence lost, it's never retained It's never the same, it's never the same Leave this world with some inspiration I'll take the bait before a pure of gold Come to grips with your intuition Hear the whispers of your soul Steer you down the road you're on It's all your own Innocence lost, it's never retained It's never the same, it's never the same Leave this world with some inspiration I'll take the bait before a pure of gold Come to grips with your intuition Hear the whispers of your soul Steer you down the road you're on It's all your own
