Imiskoumbria

Imiskoumbria (), also known as Imiz, is a comedy hip hop group from Athens, Greece. The group's roster has been the same since its inception in 1996. Imiz members include rapper Dimitris Mentzelos (, born 1968), Mithridatis (born Mithridatis Hatzihatzoglou; , born 1975) and DJ Pritanis (born Kostas Kostakos; , born 1972). They are widely credited for the establishment of hip-hop within Greek music show business.

Name

has been translated as semi-mackerels. is the Greek word for the fish mackerel (cmpr Scombridae) and is sometimes used in slang for elusive persons. The first element is analogous to the formal prefix "hemi-" (in contrast to the colloquial μισό "half"). Hence the name refers to half-elusive guys. The combination of these two elements is used mainly for comedic effect rather than being meaningful.
