Press Release: Khashayiar - 27 (Album)

​Khashayiar is an Iranian producer, composer, pianist, guitarist, and rapper. He also sings in Rock and R&B. His last album 27 has been released on July 7th, 2021 from Flipside Productions, Maghz Records and Radio Javan (For Iran’s territory). It is the first international album in Persian Hip-hop history. It contains 14 different artists from 14 countries, singing in 14 different languages. There are 10 tracks, except for the intro, all tracks are in Persian and at least one other language. As Khashayiar explains in the first track "Intro", he got this idea several years ago, but it took him a while to gather all the people and does the production and composition for all the tracks. He immigrated to Turkey a few days before the 27 album’s release date. 

27 Album's guest artists are Cleo, Thas Legend, Ariy, Jae S, Alassandro, Zeen Sloshy, Swan, Bolt, Sezo, Hamed Fard, Thiaz, Jerp Walker, and Da Queero.  

"Pimi Çektik" is Turkish and its translation in English is "Drop the grenade" which is related to Khashayiar's personal struggles. As anything related to hip-hop and most other aspects of music counts as illegal in Iran, he had two options: giving up his career and love for music and staying in Iran, or moving to another country and continuing his work. As stated above, he chose the second option.
 
"Credimi" in English means "Believe in". In this track, the artists are talking about all the difficulties that they faced such as late-night workings, no days off, not being able to hang out with friends, etc. to achieve their dreams. The track continues as they describe what they want now and believe they will achieve them.
 
"Srger", another track from “27 Album” is in Swedish and is translated to "Triumph" in English. In this track, Khashayiar is talking about how he got interested in being a musician even though his parents dreamed that their son becomes a pilot, doctor, or even boxing champion. He was five when he started playing piano for the first time and he played ever since. He is going on about how badly he wanted to be seen in the music industry and now he feels like he fulfilled that longing.  He mentions about his different ideas compared to other rappers in Iran to bring all of these rappers and singers together.
 
Khashayiar has already started working on the second volume of this album, called "28" and is expected to be done next year with other artists involved.
