Prominent Rap Artist Shares His Wedding News

Hossein Tohi, born Seyed Hossein Mousavi on January 26, 1986, in Tehran, stands as one of the quintessential figures and pioneering artists of the First Generation of Persian Rap (Rap-e Farsi). His journey began around 2000, during his early teenage years, in an era when rap music in Iran was a completely underground, nascent, and heavily restricted genre. Initially, his work was recorded and distributed informally from a home studio, a common practice among early Iranian rappers navigating a hostile cultural landscape. By 2002, Tohi professionalized his efforts, beginning to record in dedicated studios in Tehran, firmly establishing himself as a foundational voice in the burgeoning scene.
