Ali Reza Ghassemi,(born January, 1984 in Tehran, Iran), is an Iranian rapper better known by his pseudonym Quf. He DJ'd under the pseudonym Ali G. before changing his nickname to Quf. He loves "Iran, Persian music and Persian literature".
Underground Music

Quf's involvement in the Tehran underground music scene and Iranian hip hop goes to at least seven years back.

Quf appeared together with fellow Tehran rappers in the music video for Hichkas' Ye Mosht Sarbaz (A Bunch of Soldiers) which was sponsored by the United Nations for the "Make Music Not War" title. Despite the Iranian government's Censorship of YouTube, the video has been viewed more than 200,000 times on YouTube.

Quf raps in Persian language and is known for his inventive and poetic use of Tehran slang. Sometimes he coins new slang together with Hichkas. An excellent example of this endeavor is Basse Moftbari. Quf's emphatic yet cool delivery and the dark, dank scenes conjured by the lyrics are complemented by Bidad's chilling traditional Iranian vocal style, together with the beat and vividly trippy music--and Guy Buss' incredibly three-dimensional mastering. There is an element of theater in Basse Moftbari, yet it somehow captures a street reality. The innovative combination of Persian traditional music with hip hop beats add to the richness and innovative sound of many Quf songs.
