I cannot stand rap music, but I must make an exception for a remarkable British-Iranian rapper who goes by the name of 021Kid. He lives in London, where he has just released his own lyrics in Persian and English to an Israeli song, “Harbu Darbu.” The song in his version is both a love letter to the people of Iran and of Israel, and a call for revenge against the monstrous regime that still rules in Tehran. More on the rapper and his message to the people of Israel and of Iran can be found here: “Iranian Rapper Releases Persian Remix of Israeli Song, Calls for Revenge Against Regime,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, May 7, 2026:

British-Iranian rapper 021Kid has released a Persian remix of the song “Harbu Darbu” by Israeli rap duo Ness & Stilla, and in the lyrics, he calls for the death of the Iranian regime forces responsible for the killing and oppression of their own people.

The rapper, whose real name is Tony Mohraz, sings in both Farsi and English in “Harbu Darbu,” which was originally released by Ness and Stilla in 2023 in response to the deadly Hamas-led terrorist attack in southern Israel on Oct. 7.

In the Persian remix, 021Kid calls for the destruction of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an Iranian military force and internationally designated terrorist group, as well as the Basij parliamentary force that operates underneath it. The regime uses the Basij to violently suppress protests and crush political opposition across the country.

The rapper, who was born in Tehran but now lives in the United Kingdom, also sings about Iranian leaders and senior military figures who have been killed in US and Israel strikes. He mentions by name Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force Commander Qasem Soleimani, former Iranian Air Force Commander Aziz Nasirzadeh, and Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force.

021Ki [sic] further targets the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK), an Iranian opposition group that has been persecuted by the regime and seeks its overthrow but was a US-designated terrorist group from 1997 to 2012.

“We don’t want mullah, neither MEK. Smoke ’em on site, show no mercy,” 021Kid raps in English. He then sings in Farsi, “I’m standing with Iran till the end … We get our country back, just watch.”

“The song includes some Hebrew phrases as well. “My Persian Jews, Irani Chai and that’s why Am Israeli Chai,” 021Kid raps in the song. “I pull up Tel Aviv, Ma Nishma? [How are you?].”…

In 2024 the two Israeli singer-songwriters Ness and Stilla were denied visas to the U.S. because, apparently, wishing revenge on the rapists, torturers, and murderers of Hamas makes one unfit to enter the U.S. That, however, was when Biden was still president. Ness and Stilla, try again — this time with America under new management, I’m sure you will be allowed in. And so, if he wants to, would 021Kid.
