Baze, a Swiss German-speaking rapper, has been a prominent figure in the Swiss hip hop scene, known for his profound lyrics and authentic narratives, which often reflect on personal experiences and societal issues. Hailing from the city of Bern, Baze, whose real name is Maurice William, began to establish his presence in the world of music towards the late 1990s and early 2000s, drawing inspiration from the raw expressiveness of the hip hop genre.

His recent works, such as "Abstand Session" and "Morn Isch Gratis," showcase Baze's evolving artistic style, characterized by introspective storytelling wrapped in a blend of persuasive beats and melodic elements that resonate with a wide audience. Songs like "Schön Z'ghöre Dass No Hie Bisch" and "Bis Zum Mond" continue to demonstrate his skillful wordplay and vocal versatility. With tracks like "Lääri Gedanke (whirl Rework)" and "Bru," he maintains a connection to the core of hip hop while exploring new musical landscapes. As he matures in life and in his career, he reflects on the experiences of his generation with tracks like "Aus isch Ü40," yet he remains equally relevant to the youth, as seen in the energy of "Üsi Lieder" and "Kraake." Baze's music captures the spirit of Swiss urbanity and touches on universal themes, making him an influential voice in the ongoing narrative of European hip hop.
