Rapper Hannan’s popularity skyrocketed after his powerful performance of "Awaaz Utha" was released during the anti-discrimination student protests.

Music played a pivotal role in inspiring the nation to rise against the fascist and autocratic regime of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. From Shezan’s stirring “Kotha Ko” to Hannan’s powerful “Awaaz Utha Bangladesh”, the youth united in a quest for democracy against a corrupt government.
