FKJ & Bas - Risk (Official Music Video) 

Entirely hand painted by @lossapardo Inspired by the Ylang Ylang EP artworks and how the collab happened with @bas I initially wanted to drop this for the EP vinyl release, but with the current situation it got delayed. It’s still coming along tho and goin to look beautiful. Sign up to my mailing list (link in description) for the updates. Until then, enjoy the vid 🧡

"Doing God's work in the devils playground" What a beautiful line.

To all those wondering why this song doesn't have more views, it's our little treasure. Not everyone deserves such music.

Anyone else addicted to this masterpiece?

I can't really explain it but my soul feels warm every time I listen to this song and it's a lovely video. I'm really happy that this kind of artists exist because when I'm not feeling well I hide in their music. Thank you.

Every second of this video is wallpaper worthy and every lyric is quote worthy.

how has this been out 3 yrs and im just now hearing it? im in love. thank you

This is my neighbors favorite song weather he likes it or not

Fkj is one of the best modern artists of our time

This song is a straight vibe.

this hits in places you're scared to get hit at.

This might be the best ad youtube had ever presented to me. How could you skip thru this amazing piece of art?

Amazing video and song

This is probably one of my favorite songs ever

A hug from Brazil! 🇧🇷

It's hard for me to even put into words how much this song speaks to me. I'd give anything to speak to Bas and get his interpretation of his lyrics. The way they fit with the melody is insane. The video takes it to another level. This video continues to help me through all kinds of emotions, and if the message is as sad as I perceive it, it helps to know I'm not alone. If that makes any sense

“Hasn’t been bright in awhile” - 2020 😞

😍😍😍 Can we please appreciate how insanely talented the artist who hand painted this is?!

Lost my best friend to suicide, exactly 1 week and one day ago, he was in all ways aside blood, My Brother. This song is helping me beyond what words can explain. These bliss tunes mixed with that deep and real vocals was one of his favourite types of music. I wish I could have shown him this, if only it stood out for me in the Ylang Ylang EP before it was too late...

Listening to this right now, and I'm 5 years sober today. Couldn't think of a better first song of the day. 😊

Such a sad song... makes me think of how important commitment is in a relationship. You can find someone special but it doesn’t matter if they aren’t willing to commit to you. Personally it’s why I think marriage is so sacred... a person can say “I love you” all they want but it honestly doesn’t mean anything unless they’re 100% committed to you. Don’t waste your time with someone who isn’t willing to commit, and don’t waste someone else’s if that person is you. Try to find out who you are a little bit before jumping into relationships, that way there will be stability and clarity during good and bad times. Peace!

"Doing God's work in the devils playground" Mmm that line spoke to me.

On the bus going home from work. Raining. Best random click ever.

As I pray to take this calculated risk. I ask for God to be with me in my wins and Losses. I ask for tolerance patience and strength in the face of adversity. I am grateful for all the teachings he has given but I ask he guides me through this journey and holds me strong in my analysis and outcomes, Amen - A Traders Prayer

"When we began talking thru dms with Bas a few months ago somehow it felt to me we had known each other for a long time. We were sharing some vibes just because. I sent him this EP. Risk was originally just an instrumental made in the Ylang Ylang room. When he sent back what he recorded on it i got goosebumps feelin like I’m experiencing the same situation in life. He did that first take and didn’t need to add more." ❤❤❤

“I haven’t seen light in a while, hasn’t been bright in awhile.” 😷

Watch in 2024 👇

I fucking love you guys who listened and comment in this music. I just survive suicidal state just because of music man ❤️

Listened to this on the plane back home after seeing my mom for the last time. I always come back to it because it’s so beautiful and intimate, reminds me of better times I had with my mother. Thanks for making this.

“On your birthday you told me, ‘donate money to charity’” that line always reminded me of my ex. She was a giver. Always wanting to do the best for the earth and the people on it. We broke up last month. We were long distance and COVID stopped us from seeing being able to see each other. Me losing my job meant no money to get to her. Still, I got it for the girl. I know I’ll love her again some day. Thank you Bas and FKJ.

Music like this, the vibes are undeniably insane. Anything with FKJ is a vibe.

This is like the most underrated song in the world

I'm in a ship in the Indian ocean, on quarantine, going somewhere, looking for a flight to go home and this song is what I needed. I admire everything you do, I never get tired of your music, it always cheers me up.🙆🏾‍♀️🙌🏾💜

Can we get these illustrations as purchasable canvases? I would decorate my room with these beautiful pieces in a second!

I never thought it’d be this I’m jumpin' out of your arms I land and fall in a pit Is this what they call the abyss? I fought and clawed for an inch Turned into miracle mile I can recall when your lips Used to contort into smiles Bright as the sun that’s drawn an eclipse I haven’t seen light in awhile

Even though this comment will never be seen, I just want to say how this song inspires and touches me so so much. I'm so grateful to find this song. It's SO GOOD. That's the only thing I could say. I will never forget this piece of art.

That hook is so perfectly written its ridiculous, how is that even possible, its so brilliant

I can’t imagine people thumbing this down. The first people to dislike can jam that thumb where the sun don’t shine

Perfect song for that Insecure scene! I almost lost it when this came on ☁️

Risk I never thought it’d be this I’m jumpin' out of your arms I land and fall in a pit Is this what they call the abyss? I fought and clawed for an inch Turned into miracle mile I can recall when your lips Used to contort into smiles Bright as the Sun that’s drawn an eclipse I haven’t seen light in awhile Hasn’t been bright in awhile Risk (oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Risk (oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Even days when you mad at me (mad at me) You the one to give me clarity (clarity) A testament to your character (character) On your birthday you told me to donate money to charity You are made of sincerity ('cerity) And got cake like sara lee You tether me when my stress start burying me You are the one to take care of me I’m so gone, that conclusion foregone that confuse you I'm weary of war zones, this tour long I’m ready to go home, I’m ready for your bed Can you comb my hair out so it don’t dread? I just want my head rubbed I don’t want a mixtape I just want the best of I just wanna get grub, from our spot again But do the odds work in our favor? Stay down, escape town Head low and face down Like a kenneled greyhound Doing God’s work in the devil's playground Risk I never thought it’d be this I’m jumpin' out of your arms I land and fall in a pit Is this what they call the abyss? I fought and clawed for an inch Turned into miracle mile I can recall when your lips Used to contort into smiles Bright as the Sun that’s drawn an eclipse I haven’t seen light in awhile Hasn’t been bright in awhile Risk (oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Risk (oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Wish you picked up all my calls I been goin' through withdrawals Tryin' to take the edge off, I need novacane I been tryin' to stand tall I hope that you stand wit' me You know all the greats fall, shit is all the same Hot as napalm Next day come the rain, gotta stay calm Press play, put my heart in all of these songs Display all of these wrongs, yeah, a part of me is gone You are a gift in itself A measure of wealth The meaning of selfless I place you over the shelf and higher than pedestals Over the belt that straddle the waist on orion’s constellation Observation of you Here come the truth I’m most overdue I’m stuck over you I’ve gone under Living proof of God's wonders Risk I never thought it’d be this I’m jumpin' out of your arms I land and fall in a pit Is this what they call the abyss? I fought and clawed for an inch Turned into miracle mile I can recall when your lips Used to contort into smiles Bright as the Sun that’s drawn an eclipse I haven’t seen light in awhile Hasn’t been bright in awhile 💖

Martin Luther King would’ve been on Dreamville!!

My soul is about to get soothed for the nth time. It will hit different with the visuals. Thank you 🧡

Bas is one of the best artists of this generation stamp word play is unmatched

This was a preview of Bas new vocal style that we got on the off season. The vibe is 🔥🔥🔥

Had a very strong memories attached to this song. Oh boy.

This song is so poetic and meditating "doing gods work in the devils playground"

This song got me missing a girl I’ve never even had😔

0:45 this little section of ooohs is so addictive. i love it so much

''I can recall when your lips Used to contort into smiles Bright as the sun that's drawn an eclipse I haven't seen light in awhile Hasn't been bright in awhile" Damn Bas you really want me to remember her huh ?...

This song feels like a hug

First song I listened to was tadow... then had a shroom trip with a Playlist of more of his songs and I'm hooked. His music brings me to a special place

I haven’t seen light in awhile Hasn’t been bright in awhile Bring so many emotion from those simple words, it's just i've been there and when i started to see light again.. makes me glad to be alive.

Wait, Bas?! This is about to be LIT!!! 🔥🔥🔥

This song literally sits and rocks in my mind all day at the moment. So hypnotic. So beautiful. Everything about it... breathtaking seriously.

Risk is a perfect name for the feeling this song gives. It gives the feeling of being at the end of a difficult experience. Losing a loved one is definitely something no one can prepare you for. Even so, nothing will ready you for that loss. I lost my friend when I was already at a low in my life, and songs like this bring me close to those times my friends and I shared. Cherish every moment with a loved one. You may not see it now but looking back you'll see those moments were everything.

im happy now

This music calm me down during my anxiety crises . I'm picturing myself on a island with white sand and blue sea , and I feel so relaxed and in peace ... 🏝️

“Doing God’s work in the Devil’s playground” Amen 🙏🏽 Blessings on y’all in the comments

When people say good music is dead, they obviously haven't searched hard enough

For someone reading this, you are in the season wrestling with God, the season where Jacob becomes Israel, where you are not SELF MADE but GOD MADE, and though it has been hard, you know He is good, and you know that the life you have lived is not the life you were made for, but you are called to full submission to the will and call of God on your life. Don’t be discouraged, this hard season is the very thing that has driven you to this crossroads where you accept that you were never made to “fit into this world,” but you were made to partner with God to share Christ with this world. You aren’t alone, a lot of us are right there with you, God is fashioning us to be a generation that calls in the lost before the return of Christ, The God of ISRAEL 🙏🏻❤️

If staying at home means we get more of this I'm never leaving!

It's like a Living Painting 😍 Oh man! What a trip

Fkj, your music heals my soul. Stay alive and well my man! You are much appreciated!

It's 28th June Before i step up the biggest ladder of my life. I told my crush about my feeling with her. Her name in English mean Golden Chrysanthemum. I never though i could brave enough to say that words. But today The Tough Guy got broken. I cried. She just want to stay friends. I just have a little feeling that she was kinda a little pissed about it. Ivs been crush on her for almost 3 years. I cant take my eyes of her. Just feel depressed and regret. The whole lyrics of the song I feel like FKJ wrote for me. And for you, ofc. Thank you for the song FKJ. Everytime I listen to the song, she just appear in my head. And smile. "Bright as the sun". Maybe I will never see her smile again. The Tough Guy is dead. He's no longer strong enough the carry the sorrow. Thank you again FKJ.

Imagine listening to this beat while looking out of a window on a bus while the sun is rising and the clouds are in perfect positions so it looks like heaven has opened up.

I rediscovered Bas literally yesterday and I was jammin to methylone this morning

Stuck over you. I've gone under. Living proof of God's wonders...

I’m glad Bas put this on his Album in 2023, yes it’s that good and Amazing ! “Doing God’s Work in The Devil’s Playground” FKJ 🔥

Got Bas the genius over there, DJ dummy downstairs

Fkj and The sundrop garden's music is just magical boy's and girl'😪

This song is so chill & introspective

This was incredible. Just like when I heard "Tadow" became one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm so glad music and artist like this exist because its what keeps me going. Music is life.

Today, came home felt like someone was sitting on my shoulders all day. Something pulling me down seemed like the day was doomed... then I found this track. Threw on some headphones and everything around me dissappeard.

I heard this on insecure they late this song been slept on I listen to this everyday it's so beautiful to me.

Words can't describe how I feel about the fact I've discovered FKJ, his music is amazing 😍😍😍

The bass is so calming and relaxing that it made my depression fade away and brightens my soul

Can’t wait , listened to this way too much , The song hits me in a whole different way , thanks for this song man ✊🏿

Absolutely gorgeous. Music, visuals, lyrics, everything. This is pure art. Thank you for this, greetings from Mexico.

I don't know why but at 3:30 when all the pictures had taken out the people it hit even harder. It brought about this feeling of being in that lonely place. The symbolism in this piece (lyrically and artistically) is pure gold.

Muchas Gracias to the tall redhead for sending me this absolute gem.

I’m so proud of Bas, his international taste highlights his place at Dreamville. This song so fire then the art added to it...🔥🔥🔥

I love the "Loving, Vincent" vibes. The way it combines with the music is just crazy

"Doing God work in the devil playground." That's right!!!!! Keep it up ☺️

Man, my whole family was effective to this song after my nephew passed. I'm grateful for this artist for making the best song to listen to when all hope is lost. Thanks man, hope you live a great life.

*Quarantine All of us : "i haven't seen light in a while"

"Doing God's work in the devils play ground"

Everyone hurting - YES, it will get better and your heart will be stronger. Believe me guys.
