Life wasn't always easy for the self proclaimed "Steven King of Hip Hop". He was an only child in a single parent household and had to fend for himself most of his childhood. He always maintained a close relationship with his mother who was a drug addict for most of his young life. At the age of 9 he spent time in a pediatric mental hospital when teachers found he spent most of his time in class making disturbing drawings instead of classwork. Throughout childhood and into his teenage years the kid who would later be known as "Q Strange" was an outcast. Never getting ahead in his studies and rarely attending classes Q fell in love with the art of hip hop. Even at the age of 12 he was penning verses rather then school essays. Moving around and changing schools it was hard for him to keep friendships outside of his own family. He recorded his first demo at 14 and knew at that moment that this was what he wanted to do with his life. At the young age of 16 Q lost all he had in life and was forced to support himself when his mother passed away due to a drug overdose. Virtually homeless depending on the kindness of friends and family he bounced from place to place doing whatever he could to surivive. Q was heading down the wrong path getting arrested from charges ranging from shoplifting to felony assault before he was 18. It was at this time he hooked up with a local hip hop collective of MC's DJ's and Producers knowns as "3rd floor productions". His friendship with DJ JD would be one that would ultimately change his direction in life. Although the group was low on funds and had limited studio equipment JD acted as a mentor to Q (known as Mista Jinx at the time) and taught him the art of beatmaking and song structure. Recording with the group as well as solo projects he performed shows and ruled the battle circut until the crew dispanded around 1997. Taking a break from music and trying to struggle with the everyday stress of being broke and working hard he returned to the music scene this time with a whole new darker sound and persona. Q recorded Murder Kill in '97 and locally released a bootleg tape with a dark hip-hop sound and graphic horror subject matter that garnered a huge response from a diverse group of music fans. As word of mouth spread, some fans in the midwest dedicated a website to Q Strange introducing him to the world. In 1999 Q released another bootleg entitled "Decayed Thoughts" which was well recieved and earned him enough money to release his professional debut "Creation to ExeQtion" in 2000. The concept album which was an audio horror "movie" with each song connecting to the next telling a chilling sci-fi horror tale of a deranged serial killer developed a cult following and soon Q Strange was known all over the globe as the next big thing in the dark underworld of horrorcore. In 2003 after several deals gone bad with different record labels Q independently released his second album "Strangeland". This album brought the murderous style that his fans had come to know by now, but also balanced out with more "traditional" hip-hop songs and emotional tracks proving that there was more to Q Strange than just a gimmick. Both albums moved thousands of units with no distribution outside of mail order and consignment deals with various merchants, and was widely bootlegged all over the world. That in addition to extreme high energy live shows earned Q a huge fanbase, and got the attention of the music industry as different labels showed intrest in signing him. In late 2004 Q Strange inked a deal with Mad Insanity Records joining the ranks of underground legends such as Ganxsta NIP, Mastamind (NATAS), and Flatlinerz along with other highly respected up and comers such as Bay Area horrorcore artist and CEO Mars. Mad Insanity will re-release the first two albums with proper distribution making the discs easier for fans to find, and release a new highly anticipated album that will be sure to make waves in the music industry. Q Strange and Mad Insanity Records's vision is to make the world recognize the darkside of underground hip-hop known to its cult following as horrorcore.

Q Strange Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1]
I'm a make a club track 'cuz the people love that
Naw fuck that, I'm a keep it all where my loves at
I step up in the club, even Puff starts ta jump
Cuz I buck from the booth wit a rifle I'm a sniper
On the dance floor throwin' 'bows in your grill
At the bar in your drink got dissolved little pills
In the VIP where they poppin' that Cris

Wit my fists around the magnum I crack 'em, I slap 'em
Bouncers runnin' up lookin' bigger than Chewbacca
Sprayin' me wit mace I eat that shit like binaca
Punchin' people out wit brass knuckles on each fist
Throw em down a club, watch 'em cook like a deep dish
And peep this why dem kids sellin' them rolls
Take all they loot, and extort they hoes
When I'm up in the club man I just don't play
Even Ludacris said move get out the way

[Chorus: x2]
Stone Kold Killa
Stone Kold Killa
I don't give a
Motherfuck about anyone

[Verse 2]
Kickin' in doors, yellin' get on the floor
Ima stone kold killa and I'm ready for more
Duck tape ya mother to a chair rape her wit a plunger
All because I'm just a ruthless motherfucker
You so funny man I'll do it for cheap
Naw I'll do it for free I just need some fresh meat
I got peoples heads in my closet and they rotten
Sometimes I take'em out when I wanna make out
I abduct young hoes, tie'em up in the woods
Or sometimes I let 'em run cuz it's even more fun
Gotta gun but I only use that shit for pistol whippin'
I got more creative type ways of kold killin
I'm lost in my demented thoughts and
I'm on Stone Cold and Steve Austin
I'm forcing my way into the game
Kickin' much ass and takin' names
You'll never be the same once you've heard Q Strange, Ima

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I took Freddy's glove and I stabbed him in the chest wit it
Took Jason's machete and I stabbed him in the neck wit it
Took Michael Myers mask rocked it to the mall
I let my little boy play wit that chucky doll
Even Stephen King read my lyrics are bugged
I'm the next Bundy I ain't talkin' bout Bud
I love what I do, there ain't no signs of stoppin'
I'm stoppin' over half dead cops I shot dead
I'm hot than, I'm illmortalized here forever
A Stone Kold Killa and I'm just too clever
Ain't got the cheddar but I got somethin' better
The fact that you can't fuck with me naw never
Sever limbs from torsos, head from necks
I'm foaming out the mouth barkin' at DMX

[Chorus x2]

Overall Meaning
