The most popular hip hop group in faraway Bangladesh makes its music in a small second-floor studio in Jackson Heights, Queens. Stoic Bliss is part of a new wave of South Asian hip hop which includes a handful of groups that rap in the national language of Bangladesh. Bangla, or Bengali as it's known here, makes the group unusual but also presents the musicians with a challenge. The track, "Bangladesh" is one of the few from the group's first album, "Light Years Ahead," that features lyrics in English. The title "Abar Jigay" or "Say What" in English is slang used by youth on the streets of the Bangladesh capital, Dhaka.
