"The character of Taz is inspired from Yo Yo Honey Singh. We all know someone like that and recreating Honey Singh’s energy was such a happy space to be in. I would constantly listen to his songs before getting on set. And I would drive Monica and Raghav nuts because I would keep singing his songs all day," Rahsaan said in a statement.

"The Spectacular Jihad of Taz Rahim" tells the story of Taz (Rahsaan), a rapper who is blackmailed to become an undercover agent by the New York Police Department (NYPD). It is loosely inspired by real-life incidents of NYPD, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Central Intelligence Agency's use of Muslim informants.
