About This Album
Basboi crafts a distinct entry into global hip-hop with his Indonesian studio album Kasablanka, a project aligned with the HOMEBOi / EMPIRE creative network that supports artists in bringing their work to audiences across regional and international markets. As a full-length album, Kasablanka exists as a cohesive body of work, the kind of project that allows a creator to lean into the full scope of their artistic interests and perspectives, rather than condensing their output into the narrower frame of a shorter release. Rooted in the artist’s home country of Indonesia, the project sits within a vibrant and growing community of Indonesian hip-hop creators who have spent years building a local scene that honors both the foundational roots of hip-hop as a genre and the unique cultural, social, and creative textures that define life and art in Indonesia.
