Ah-Deli is a multi-lingual hip-hop artist from Nashville, TN. Having spent a few years in NYC where it all began, he has become driven to bring back the poetic, lyrical hip-hop he grew up on. For Ah-Deli, hip-hop had become a means of dealing with the challenges of life, and he started listening and understanding the art of hip-hop at the early age of 7. No stranger to humble beginnings, Ah-Deli immersed himself in hip-hop culture and by the age of 15, he was constantly writing lyrics and creating mixtapes. Decades later, he continues to write and challenge himself, even expressing the ability to rhyme in Persian and Spanish on his debut album, World Hop. In his mind, true hip-hop has become an endangered species, and for that reason, he is on a mission to protect the art, bringing it back to it’s humble roots. He has created a movement called #worldhop, which is intended to connect the world through hip-hop, musically and linguistically.🌎
Ah-Deli, is also a member of HERU HERU, a Nashville-based underground hip-hop trio that aims to apply their music as a tool to heal people(#healhop), as well as the art itself. @heruheruhiphop
