REASON & Bas Deliver Soulful Truths on “Not What You Think”

After a period of quiet, REASON has officially returned with “Not What You Think” featuring Bas. This single serves as the lead track for his upcoming album I Love You Again, set to drop on February 28. It marks a significant moment for REASON, as it’s his first major project since parting ways with TDE. Teaming up with Dreamville’s Bas, REASON addresses misconceptions surrounding artists and entertainers. His lyrics unpack the complexities of his journey, particularly during his time with his former label. Speaking to Earmilk, REASON revealed: “‘Not What You Think’ was a cadence and bounce I came up with right after splitting with TDE. I had no words. I just knew I wanted the bounce to be in a certain pocket, and I wanted to speak on situations where artists/entertainers aren’t always what the public thinks they are.” The track boasts a smooth yet bouncy production that allows both MCs to flow effortlessly. Bas complements REASON’s introspective tone, adding his own perspective on the challenges of public perception and the pressures of their industry. Their synergy creates a thought-provoking and engaging listen, blending vulnerability with undeniable swagger. “Not What You Think” is already generating buzz, making it a strong introduction to I Love You Again. For fans who’ve been waiting for REASON’s next chapter, this single is a promising sign of what’s to come. Don’t miss out—give it a listen today.
