Imiskoumbria (Greek: Ημισκούμπρια), also known as Imiz, is a hip-hop group formed in 1994 in Athens, Greece. The group has maintained the same lineup since its inception, consisting of rapper Dimitris Mentzelos (Greek: Δημήτρης Μεντζέλος), Mithridatis (born Mithridatis Hatzoglou/Greek: Μιθριδάτης Χατζόγλου), and DJ Pritanis (born Kostas Kostakos/Greek: Κώστας Κωστάκος). They are widely credited with establishing hip-hop as a significant force in Greek music. The group disbanded in 2017. The name Ημισκούμπρια translates to "semi-mackerels," with "σκουμπρί" being the Greek word for mackerel, sometimes used in slang for elusive individuals. The prefix "ημι-" is akin to the formal "semi-," indicating a humorous reference to "half-elusive guys."
