Typically, hip hop and rap music consists of one or more rappers who tell semi-autobiographic tales, often relating to a fictionalized counterpart, in an intensely rhythmic lyrical form making abundant use of techniques like assonance, alliteration, and rhyme. The rapper is accompanied by an instrumental track, usually referred to as a "beat", performed by a DJ, created by a producer, or one or more instrumentalists. This beat is often created using a sample of the percussion break of another song, usually a funk or soul recording. In addition to the beat other sounds are often sampled, synthesized, or performed. Sometimes a track can be instrumental, as a showcase of the skills of the DJ or producer.

[edit] Rap music in Iran

The first group to initiate the Rap genre in Iran was a Los Angeles based group called "Sandy" in the mid 1990s. They particularly became well known for their mixing of Bandari music with early 1990s style rap songs. To be specific, Sandy songs featured a combination of Techno and Bandari music along with Rap lyrics[1]. The first recent Iranian artist to create music with meaningful lyrics and a message was the underground artistDeev with his song Dasta Bala. Deev soon released two other tracks following his earlier song. Hip hop music had had a large fan base in the West and starting in the early 90's, started to grow among Iranians. With the increasing use of satellite television in Iran in the early 1990s and stardom of American artists such as 2pac, Eminem and many more artists during the decade, rap and hip hop found an explosive following among the Iranian youth born after the Islamic Revolution of 1979. They started paying attention to the beats and rhythmic lyrics present in hiphop and eventually turned to creating this genre of music in Persian. Soon this new age group 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 artists as EmZipper, Erfan, Hich Kas, Zed Bazi each adding their own flavor to Persian Hiphop.
