Soroush Lashkari (Persian: سروش لشکری‎; born May 8, 1984), known professionally as Hichkas (Persian: هیچکس‎; meaning "No One") is an Iranian rapper, songwriter, and record producer from Tehran. . Credited with popularizing Persian hip hop to the Iranian people and other Persian-speaking countries such as Afghanistan and Tajikistan, Hichkas's national success and acclaimed works are widely regarded as having broken the barriers that were in place by the Islamic regime for the acceptance of rappers in popular music. Hichkas is considered as one of the pioneers of Iranian hip hop and is nicknamed "Father of Persian Rap" (Persian: پدر رپ فارسی‎) by his fans. He became a representation of the Iranian underclass and reflected the angst of the young Iranians. He has been influential for many artists of various genres and is often cited as one of the greatest rappers of the Iranian hip hop.
