Erfan Hajrasuliha, known professionally as Erfan Paydar, was born on August 3, 1983, in Isfahan, Iran. He is an Iranian rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, and label owner who has made significant contributions to Persian rap music. His debut album, Az Khaneh Ta Goor, released in 2007, marked one of the first professionally produced Iranian rap albums by a major record label. The album included notable tracks such as "Sad Ghasam" and was inspired by Erfan's personal experiences, including his brief arrest and imprisonment in 2002. Following Az Khaneh Ta Goor, Erfan released several other albums, including Hamishegi (2010), Khodafezi (2016), and Ayatol Trap (2018). He took a hiatus from music for two years after the release of Khodafezi, but returned in 2018 with the single "Khosh Oomadi" featuring Canis. Erfan has also collaborated with various Iranian artists, including Yas, Ho3ein, and Koorosh.
