Dreamville’s first signee, Bas (Abbas Hamad), was born in Paris and raised in Queens, New York. His story, one that explores the many effects of the African diaspora, captures the quintessential come-up story and the importance of consistency. A power player on Dreamville’s historical #1 album, Revenge Of The Dreamers III, Bas received Grammy nominations, including “Best Rap Album” for ROTD III and “Best Rap Performance” for the stand-out single, “Down Bad.” Other recognitions from the project include Bas earning his first Billboard Hot 100 placements with “Down Bad” (RIAA certified Gold). and “Costa Rica” (RIAA certified Platinum).
