I know that I personally would struggle to figure out a way to still feel excited about life if I had to live within those confines.
Part of the problem is that conventional equates to routine and conservative, both of which go against my grain. I’m a 21-year-old college senior trying to assemble some image of what I want my life to be and the only thing I know for sure is that I don’t want anything traditional.
But I have become a fan of her as a person, which I later found out could be considered a coveted rarity since she likes to remain low-key.Īs of right now, I have no desire to obtain the conventional. Since I don’t speak Persian, it’s difficult for me to become a fan of her music, and unlikely that I’d be exposed to it in the U.S. Now that I’m acquainted with Salome, I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t know anything about her music before this project. Salome MC raps intensely, she glares into the camera in a manner that let’s you know that what she’s saying is worth listening to, even if you don’t understand Persian. Imagine my surprise, then, when I saw her music videos after being introduced. When I met her she spoke softly and took a minute to warm up to me in interviews, but once she did, I caught a glimpse of the ferocity crouching within her at all times. In terms of first impressions, Salome MC comes off as a gentle person. You wouldn’t know it by looking at her, though, since she is void of a sense of superiority that most rappers feel entitled to after a certain point in their careers. This is how rapper Salome MC views fame, and no wonder she does as one of the first female Iranian rappers. These are jobs as much as they are lifestyles, where a truly conventional life is forever out of reach and scrutiny awaits your every decision.

Together with Japanese-American rapper Shing02 she produced the Track «Passenger». A portrait on one of the artists who collaborated on the first season of 1+1, a worldwide recording project by Norient and Sound Development in Summer 2015. To her, it is about letting the music speak for itself. Despite being one of the first female Iranian rappers, Salome MC has no interest in perpetuating the current state of the music business.
