They are known as the pioneers of gangsta rap in Iran.[2][3] The band's most famous song, called Tabestoon Kootahe, is largely credited as the first widely heard piece of Persian Rap.
The band was officially suspended in October 2014 due to personal reasons. On May 20, 2020, Zedbazi announced that the group was resuming activities on their Instagram page. Shortly after, on June 10 2020, they released two singles named Yakh (یخ; meaning ice), a diss track to Moltafet band and Hichkas and Bache Mahal (بچه محل; meaning "neighbourhood guy") talking about their past path to becoming famous from the beginning of Persian Rap in Iran. The songs were released on Radio Javan.[4]
