Imiskoumbria (Greek: Ημισκούμπρια), 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 (Greek: Δημήτρης Μεντζέλος), Mithridatis (born Mithridatis Hatzihatzoglou; Greek: Μιθριδάτης Χατζηχατζόγλου) and DJ Pritanis (born Kostas Kostakos; Greek: Κώστας Κωστάκος). They are widely credited for the establishment of hip-hop within Greek music show business.

Name

Ημισκούμπρια has been translated as semi-mackerels. Σκουμπρί is the Greek word for the fish mackerel (cmpr Scombridae) and is sometimes used in slang for elusive persons. The first element ημι- is analogous to the formal prefix "semi-" (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.
