The album sold up-to 40,000 copies exclusive of downloads and streaming. “Tar wase” which means “Our Nationality” is a strong message song and the song instantly got stuck in the hearts and on the lips of the people because of the reality and the comic drama portrayed in it.

The song preaches unity and promotes culture. It challenges youths to be more industrious rather than looking at politics as the only means of survival.
