In May 2023, the male rapper released the song Cooking for You on YouTube. In the MV, he and his friends visited students at two boarding schools for ethnic minorities, Sa Tong Primary and Secondary School, Muong Cha District, Dien Bien Province, to prepare meals for the children.
All revenue from the song was donated to Nuoi Em - a project initiated by the National Volunteer Center, Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, to provide food and build schools for children in mountainous areas.

On November 16, the singer announced on his personal page with 5.3 million followers that the revenue from the song in 5 months (from May 13 to September 30) after deducting expenses reached nearly 549 million VND. The entire amount was transferred to build two schools in Lai Chau and Cao Bang and transferred to the Spring Bus Trip - Tet Sum Vay 2024 program of the Ho Chi Minh City Student Support Center, sponsoring buses to take 2,000 disadvantaged children home for Tet.
"Up to now, thanks to the audience's support, Cooking for You has raised more than one billion VND, sharing everyone's love to places in need. I myself have also realized the power of solidarity and collective strength," Den Vau wrote on his personal page.
