During that time, he recorded an anti-drug song for a mixed hip hop album produced by DJ Raf, and Jasper, titled “Kata Taarer Bera”. The song was titled “Keno Ei Poth Nile” which translates to “Why would you take this path?”, and was used by the nation’s anti-drug lobbyists to gain awareness among teenagers. It’s a song about the various issues teenagers face when they choose to experiment with certain kinds of drugs. The heart felt lyrics have touched people all over the country and really does make you stop and think about it. It also gained immense popularity through radio channels in the country.
