Esfandiar Monfaredzadeh: the sound beneath the story
You’ve heard him in Gheysar, Dash Akol, Reza Motori The music hits before the story does. It curls around your ear like a whisper before the first punch is thrown, the first tear falls, the first cigarette lights. In an interview, he tells the story of where it all began. He was ten, buying single film…
Farzad Ghadimi and Saeed Dehghan drop ‘Rasmi’, no skip
I first encountered Farzad Ghadimi nearly three years ago, when his debut single Shelik burst forth like a sudden spark in the dark. That track wasn’t merely a promising start—it was a declaration. From the opening bars, it was clear that a distinctive new voice had emerged in Persian rap, one that refused to be…
“In Iran They Call Me English and in England They Ask Me Where I’m From”: Navigating Identity and Belonging in Bea Dero’s Bound by Two Homes
What does it mean to belong to two places, yet fully to neither? For many growing up in the diaspora, this sense of in-betweenness—a constant balancing act between identities, languages and cultures—is part of everyday life. “In Iran they call me English and in England they ask me where I’m from,” says British-Iranian artist Bea…

Koorosh Reveals His New Video Game ‘KooriRun’

The creation of a game based on the character Koorosh, one of the most popular Iranian rappers, has been a unique experience in the Persian rap scene. The game officially launched on Android and iOS on the first day of 2024. Players navigate a winter street, collecting sparkling diamonds, and Koori1 Coins. The endless running adventure unfolds in a never-ending snowy urban landscape, providing engaging obstacles and unique challenges. The game offers an immersive experience with Koorosh’s tracks in the background, creating an exclusive soundtrack.

Participants can use their diamonds and Koori1 Coins to unlock exclusive jewelry, enhancing their avatar’s appearance in this game. The competition extends across three leaderboards: Main High Score, Weekly High Score, and Total Diamonds Collected. Visually stunning graphics within a stylish 3D world showcase Koorosh’s iconic brand imagery, elevating the game’s overall appeal. Best of all, the experience is free to play, without any in-app purchases.

According to published news, guest artists from the unreleased album “Home Alone” will gradually be added to the game as new characters. The first character to be added in future updates is 021Kid, who previously collaborated successfully with “Koorosh” on the track “Roulette.” Another interesting aspect of the game “Koori Run” is that players will hear a short demo of an unreleased song by Koorosh and Young Sudden upon reaching 42,000 points. It appears that Arta, inspired by Koorosh’s success, has designed another game called “BikeMiross” in the “Racing” genre.

Therefore, it can be claimed that Koorosh has unveiled a new and completely different experience in the Persian rap scene. Similar to what many Iranian rappers have done previously, mostly in fashion and clothing design, this is a clear sign of these artists’ ambition to operate outside the realm of music.
