Ahead of the 2026 Lunar New Year, rapper Den Vau released a new song titled " The Big Job ". This is the first time the rapper has chosen the image of a father as the central theme of his songwriting.

The song is structured into three parts, corresponding to the changes in a man's life as he becomes a father.

In the opening section, Den depicts the initial awkwardness of embarking on the journey of fatherhood: "The first few days of being a father were incredibly difficult. It was a battle without weapons, without troops."

According to the rapper, it's a process where a man must confront and overcome himself, shedding old habits to transform from the role of a son into the head of the family.

Throughout the song, Den also emphasizes the sacredness of the moment of becoming a father: "This life is the most miraculous thing in the world, you have come here, I am granted this honor."

In the chorus, the journey of fatherhood emerges as a steadfast and patient companionship: "We walk hand in hand with our child on this long journey," "We carry our child across any deep river"...

Towards the end, the song enters a more profound contemplative phase, as the father reflects on his own parents.

His poignant lyrics, "Only when you become a parent do you understand a mother's and father's heart," and "Only when you become a parent do you appreciate your parents even more," create a closed emotional circle between generations.

Through "The Great Job ," Den honors the men who are quietly shouldering an exceptionally great responsibility: fatherhood, honest work to raise their children and care for their families.

The catchy chorus, performed by the group Dong Thoi Gian, combined with Den's deep, contemplative rap verses, creates a consistent emotional tone throughout the work.

The male rapper also gently reminded children to cherish the time they have with their parents: "But sometimes we kids forget that our parents are just ordinary people. We forget that time is not a constant..."

Den Vau's first time writing about "being a father for the first time" has attracted the audience's attention, especially since he has recently been rumored to have a child with singer Hoang Thuy Linh. Although neither of them has ever publicly confirmed their relationship, information surrounding their personal lives always receives great attention from the public.

In August 2025, a series of photos allegedly showing Hoang Thuy Linh and Den Vau holding twins went viral on social media. The two artists were also rumored to have held an engagement ceremony and had children, but they never confirmed or denied the rumors.

Rapper Đen, whose real name is Nguyễn Đức Cường, was born in 1989 in Quảng Ninh . He worked as a garbage collector for 7 years before gaining popularity with rap songs such as: " Đưa nhau đi trốn" (Let's Run Away Together), "Lối nhỏ" (Small Path), "Trốn tìm" (Hide and Seek), "Hai triệu năm" (Two Million Years), "Bang tiền về cho mẹ" (Bring Money Home to My Mother)...
