Rapper Raftaar new single and music video Mask On also features Indian stars Rashmeet Kaur, KARMA & Yunan. This new track aims to counter dangerous misinformation about COVID-19 and remind people of the importance of pausing and taking care before you share.
Already amassing big audiences in India and beyond, Mask On reminds us of the important role we play in keeping our families safe by making sure we don’t spread fake news, and by following lifesaving guidance like staying home, wearing masks and washing hands.
Raftaar himself says, “Currently the world is in a state of chaos… However, this doesn’t give anyone the right to spread misinformation which is a virus and exploits our biases and prejudices. We are in a moment of global unrest with growing COVID-19 cases, economic volatility, climate emergency, worldwide protests for racial justice. Misinformation, hate speech and fake news is empowering and distorting all of these issues. Often, we share on impulse, before checking the authenticity of the content but I urge everyone to contain this impulse.”
Pause. Take care before you share.
