With the introduction of satellite television in Iran in the early 1990s and world wide recognition of hip hop and its American artists such as 2pac, NWA and Eminem and hiphop found an explosive following among the Iranian youth (mostly born after the Islamic Revolution of 1979). They started paying attention to the beats and rhythmic lyrics present in hip hop and eventually turned to creating this genre of music in Persian.
