Iranian hip hop refers to hip hop music from Iran. [edit] HistoryThe first group to release an Iranian Rap album was the Los Angeles-based group Sandy in the mid 1990s. The new wave of Iranian Hip Hop artists include Deev, who introduced Political Hip Hop to Iranians with his song "Dasta Bala", followed by Zedbazi, who worked on Gangsta Rap with their song "Mehmoni" (written on top of the 50 cent anthem "In the Club"). With the introduction of satellite television in Iran in the early 1990s and world-wide recognition of hip hop and its American artists such as 2pac, NWA and Eminem, hip hop found a following among the Iranian youth (mostly born after the Islamic Revolution of 1979). They started paying attention to the beats and rhythmic lyrics present in hip hop and eventually turned to creating this genre of music in Persian. Soon they turned from rap enthusiasts to poets and rap producers, bringing to light how they saw life as Iranians and what they wanted from the world. They used it as a means of self expression, creating such underground artists such as Daad,Yashar & Shayan ,Cyrus Mafia ,Deev, ,B+, Yas and Hich Kas each adding his own flavor to Persian hip hop.
