As the name suggests, I'm 30 - 30 years I'm still here is Tien Dat's way of marking his 30-year artistic career milestone and is the next step after his journey of Brother Overcoming a Thousand Thorns .

The product includes 6 songs: Take That Hand Away, Break Up Then I Know, Chi Pheo, When We Are Still Stupid, Have Fun with Mr.D and Proud to Be a Child; blending genres such as: pop/ballad, r&b, rap and rap-rock, balancing between nostalgic materials and modern arrangements.

At the event, Tien Dat was emotional when looking back on his 3-decade journey, from a dancer of Hoang Thong dance troupe to a pioneering mainstream rapper, with a series of hits in the early 2000s and the time he was absent to focus on business.

After all, he realized the fire for music was still there in his heart.

The product launch event gathered many famous names in the entertainment industry, including singer Ngoc Son. Few people know that Tien Dat and Ngoc Son have a close colleague relationship.

Decades ago, when he was still a member of the Hoang Thong dance troupe, Tien Dat had the opportunity to participate in a music video of Ngoc Son - who at that time was already a top star in the market.

"For the first time, I heard a Vietnamese singer rap. I knew how to rap before but mainly listened to foreign rappers on cassette tapes. I was very impressed, especially since Mr. Son is a singer of lyrical and golden music. I must say I admire him immensely!", he recalled.

Before sharing his heartfelt thoughts, Ngoc Son went on stage and hugged Tien Dat, giving his junior many compliments. The male singer emphasized that he had been looking for someone who could both sing and rap well but could not find them until Tien Dat became famous.
