In just a year and a half since launching his professional career, Tlkhoon has emerged as a new star in Persian rap. His persona is a unique blend of a vulnerable lover boy and a young man who still exhibits childlike behavior. This duality extends to his lyrics, which are filled with playful, whimsical, and fantasy-driven metaphors. Moreover, his voice and delivery enhance the believability of the character he has created.
Despite the short span of his career, Tlkhoon has already showcased various sides of his personality. He has proven his versatility by delivering solid performances on both boom bap and trap beats, demonstrating his talent and potential in the world of Persian rap. Throughout the two decades since the emergence of Persian rap, we have witnessed the prominence of specific character types in each period, leading to excessive similarity in the behavioral patterns of rappers who attempt to guarantee their success through conformity. The striking difference in the approach taken by Tlkhoon is a clear sign of his courage and boldness in facing difficult challenges rather than imitating a pre-established model.
Undoubtedly, one of the primary reasons for the significant distance between Persian rap and other popular music scenes in Iran is the noticeable dynamism of this movement, stemming from the dedication of musicians, listeners, and the media associated with this genre. Among the most important outcomes of such an approach is the introduction of new faces like Tlkhoon, despite their brief professional tenure, through various means that starkly contrast with previous methods such as support or collaboration with prominent figures. This illustrates the unparalleled potential of Persian rap to welcome and showcase emerging artists with diverse styles.
