ROKH

Rokh (Persian: رُخ), the Iranian rapper and songwriter recognized as one of the last generation of Iran's conscious, hardcore and lyrical hip-hop artists, gained attention after gaining +7 million streams on official digital platforms, establishing a distinct presence in the scene. Known as the "Faceless Rapper", he has deliberately kept his identity obscured, allowing his music and lyrics to take center stage.

Born and raised in Mazandaran, northern Iran, he released his first solo album, Ahli, in 2018, in collaboration with Saeed Dehghan as the producer and composer. The album was released via Melli, a label they were both members of at the time.

Between 2019 and 2023, Rokh built a reputation for his detailed, narrative-driven style. Tracks like "Faramarz," "Amoo Reza," and "Terminal Jonoob" became key releases during this period. His use of symbolic personification as a central artistic tool sets his storytelling apart. "Harzeh," "Booseh," and "Sahel" are notable examples of this technique.

He has also collaborated with other established names in Persian rap, including Atour, Safir, Najwa and Bamdad Afshar, steadily expanding his reach across the scene.

Though personal in tone, Rokh's lyrics consistently carry strong social commentary. At the same time as the emergence of the new generation of Persian rap in 2020, he followed a different path. His music remains deeply connected to Iranian identity, as well as his own lived experiences.

Rokh is currently working on his upcoming LP titled Qoo (Persian: قو), set to be released in 2026.
