The Social Misfits

PQ
One of the most recent members on the Social Misfits line-up is yet another hotly tipped hip-hop head who has made it his personal mission to make a very big global impact on the hip-hop scene; His name is Pique - though he is better known as PQ , Lost Image is his alias.

PIQUE (peek), n., v., piqued, piquing. - n. 1 a feeling of anger at being slighted; wounded pride: umbrage. 2 Archaic. a fit of ill feeling between persons; personal quarrel: v. t. 1 to cause a feeling of anger in; wound the pride of: 2 to arouse; stir up: 3 Aeronautics, Obsolete. to dive at in an attack. pique oneself on (or upon), to feel proud about; take pride in. piquant (peek' ant), adj. 1 stimulating to the mind or interest: a piquant bit of news. 2 pleasantly sharp; stimulating to the mind; 3 Archaic. unpleasantly sharp or biting; stinging. Abbr.; P.Q.

PQ can be best described as an active volcano ready to explode! Preferring to currently maintain his underground status PQ has been quietly holding down his profile until itt was his time to make a move and blow from the ground up. Its that time now. He was introduced to Social Misfit Entertainment by another newly appointed crew, Stone Circle, and was infact inducted into the collective at the same time as them. His hunger and determination was the first thing Sir Prestige noted and as soon as he auditioned his hardened and unflawed flow he was immediately put on. No doubt others who hear him will immediately warm-up to him and give him his much deserved props.

Hailing from South West London, PQ has spent half his lifetime rhyming poetics that reflect his social environment. He has spent the last few years studying and hustling in the US where he was also battling renowned local emcees on a regular basis. Despite his long-term absence from the UK PQ still maintains a very distinguished London vocab that equally matches his distinctive tight delivery. For those who like their musical treats hard, uncompromised, and undiluted, PQ aka Lost Image is definitely your man.

His sheer lyrical energy and no-nonsense verbal approach as demonstrated on his debut recorded appearance on the Social Misfits collaboration album left many critics highly impressed plus enthused to hear more. He has since gone further to put together his promotional debut, "SHADOWS IN THE DARKNESS" which we are confident is destined to put him amongst the people to watch out for in 2001. This collection of his recent recordings demonstrates the various aspects that make him an allround fully-fledged MC with so much to offer. Beyond the introductory street-wise poetical commentary heard on the intro "Liquid Poison", conscious vocabulary are illustrated on the haunting "Lost Image" whilst showcasing his sharp and smart lyrics on the bouncy "For Real". Further to this, his illustrative rhymes are highlighted on the double-serving of "Double Spaced".

Those who have so far managed to get a copy of this Limited Edition sampler taken from his long-player project unanimously agreed that he is definitely someone to keep your ear out for. We strongly suggest you do just that.
