Bas brings viewers into a brand new world with the music video for his new single “Decent” featuring Amaarae.

Directed by Danaé Gosset, the animated visual finds Bas and his romantic partner going through the peaks and valleys that come with companionship while in front of a muted audience. According to Gosset, the concept for the video is a depiction of how matters of the heart can sometimes be challenged by creative pursuits.

“[It] illustrates the challenges of balancing a healthy relationship as an artist while actively pursuing passion and success. The thematic exploration of restraint and escapism is brought to life through a series of performance art pieces interwoven into the narrative,” said Gosset.

Fans were surprisingly positive in reaction to the video.

NLE Choppa is in a definitive new era. He's never been one to hold back from his eccentricities and he's leaning further into them than ever before. Last month he dropped the new song "SLUT ME OUT 2" which is expectedly a sequel to his hit song "SLUT ME OUT" from last year. The raunchy number is packed full of incredibly NSFW lyrics and sees Choppa leaning into his sexuality. He's also done that throughout the promotional tactics for the new single. They were highlighted by a rubber duck-themed bathtub shoot where he mimicked a classic Tupac photo.

In a recent video he shared to TikTok he showed off a performance of the song that had some very surprising special guests. Choppa took to the stage to play the incredibly raunchy track alongside his parents. Despite the awkward contrast of the situation, fans in the comments are surprisingly supportive.
