Born in Tehran and raised in the German city of Münster, Kianush found his flow at Streetsound. This local youth project provided an artistic outlet for the rapper (aka Kianush Rashedi) to narrate his tough reality through music, and he’s maintained that mission throughout his career. From the sly sarcasm of “KRIMINELL” to the urgent escapism of “Hütte im Wald”, he and hip-hop mentor PA Sports deliver political barbs in tandem with irresistible hooks. Over boom-bap beats and metal-edged guitar cuts, Kianush showcases scorching punchlines and creative verve—it’s street rap served in style.
