Az Khaneh Ta Goor is the commercial debut album by Iranian rapper and producer Erfan.

Release history

The album was co-produced by A-Plus, Erfan and Sean Gordon. The album name comes from the title of a poem by Mowlānā (Rumi) about death. The name reminded Erfan of the situation of Iranian immigrants living outside of Iran.[3] The album is the first Iranian Hip-hop album that was commercially released via a major record label.[4]

Background

He uses his ability to write Persian into meaningful rhythmic sentences while retaining the ability to flow over tracks such as "Jaddeh", "Sad Ghasam" and "Khatteh Man". The Single “Sad Ghassam” is a nationalist-patriotic manifest of a young Iranian-American and representative of the generation growing up outside Iran. It's about the everyday struggles and mental agonies that an immigrant population and their children face. [4]

The album contains 11 tracks even though on the cover only 10 tracks are listed.[4] He tries to focus his rhymes on the inner struggles such as in the song "Jaddeh" (road) describing his hardship with music while other tracks cover a range of subjects.[5]
