Rahat has been a hip hop artist for most of his life. The native of Bangladesh was raised in the Bronx and started rapping just before he entered high school. He began to rap mainly to impress his girlfriend and that proved to be a smart move because that girl is now his fiancé. Rapping and hip hop music was more than just a way to impress a girl though. Music was a way for Rahat to deal with the struggles that most young men face during their formative years. Rahat has struggled with significant loss in his life including the loss of many friends and he used music to cope with that loss. Creative music was not only a way to deal with loss but also a way to pay tribute to the friends who were no longer there.

Rahat’s music is inspired by his life experiences and it projects a positive message designed to inspire. Rahat has something of a hero complex and he creates music to uplift and guide people through their dark moments. Rahat’s biggest inspiration was his best friend Angel who inspired his love of hip hop before tragically passing away. Rahat’s 2012 release “A Seraph’s Gift” was a tribute to Angel.

Rahat continues with new music in his May 2013 release, "Awakening". He has not introduced EDM music into his style and has released a song titled "Anthem Flow" with German EDM producer The 2nd Hope. He aims to make the many genres of EDM a huge part of his future releases. He enjoys blogging and promoting other independent artists on his Echo's of Rahat webpage and blog. Read more on Last.fm.
