Epr Iyer, an Indian rapper and musician, has emerged as a distinctive voice in the South Asian hip-hop scene, known for blending regional influences with the contemporary rap genre. Coming into the limelight as a contestant on MTV's reality show "MTV Hustle," Epr, whose real name is Santhanam Srinivasan Iyer, hails from Kolkata and often incorporates social and political themes into his verses, reflecting his personal experiences and viewpoints.

His music showcases a range of styles, transcending traditional boundaries by amalgamating rap with folk elements in tracks like "Din Furailo Rap Folk" and "Nodi Bhora Dheu Rap Folk," while also touching on mathematical and scientific concepts, as seen in his work "Fibonacci" and "Uncertainty Principle."
