I watched through his window as he ate his food, ewwwww Open the door it was this dude, he gave me the loot Knocked on the door, “Jade Dragon Express” Looked at the paper I went to the address I mixed it wit some noodles and the shit stinks its rotten Took the splattered remains and then I fuckin’ stuck’em Into an alley where I cut him and I gut him He’s on the ground covered in chow mein and duck sauceĬut his face the fuck off, killed him and he got tossed I stuck out my arm, I clothes lined him, be careful at night Seeing a man deliverin’ some kung pao chicken “Real late at night I still ain’t done killin’ To top it off, this is how the night ends: In a gruesome and chilling manner, Q Strange visualizes an average day of killings consisting of decaying remains in the trunk of a stolen Lincoln, carjacking an elderly couple, beating a homeless man to death, and sticking a prostitute’s own high heel shoe into her neck. Q Strange takes his lyricism to another level in this track solely dedicated to murders. You think that’s bad? Wait until you hear “Still Driftin.’” Don’t let the dope beat fool you. Q Strange wanted a club track to appeal to the masses, but instead of the booty shaking scene we all envision, his version involves himself as a sniper with a rifle in hand to shoot up everyone he sees. With its claps and club hitting beat in “Stone Kold Killa,” it sounds like it belongs at a club as opposed to being on a horrorcore album. I pointed the barrel right into my mouth” I planned all for nothin’ I can’t take’em out Ultimately in a bizarre twist, his intentions do not follow through as he is unable to complete the task as he confesses: The more grotesque his lyricism is, the better he feels as he says, “My lyrics are a cry for help, can’t you hear this?” Being ridiculed in school and seen as the outsider, Q Strange professes his emotions as if he were still in school in “Nothing.” Planning to reenact a Columbine style shooting, Q Strange’s character arranges the moment of attack upon his classmates and teachers. A bit graphic, Q Strange insists that hatred and depression takes over his being while having the urge to exterminate life in any way possible. Q Strange has done it with his 2004 release of “Strangeland.” With the ominous echoing voices and sinister laughs throughout “Sinphony of Sick,” Q Strange raps in detail about the obsession to kill, so overpowering it seems to spread like a disease. It takes a certain somebody with a twisted and slightly perverse mind to write rhymes about killing, violence, necrophilia, and just plain horror. Under the Mad Insanity label, Q Strange’s “Strangeland” is re-released to give those who missed the craze another chance to experience horrorcore in its entirety. With his fan base increasing, he hooked up with Mad Insanity Records in 2004 and joined the ranks of horrorcore artists such as Ganxsta NIP, Mastamind (NATAS), Flatlinerz, and Mars. Independently releasing “Strangeland” back in 2003, Q Strange wanted to introduce a different twist on his old music by still incorporating the “horror” effect, but also including tracks on a more emotional level.

Although the collective separated in 1997 and Q Strange took a break from the music scene, he came back in full effect while reinventing his character into a more sinister disposition. With the opportunity to join the collective “3rd Floor Productions” composed of various DJ’s, emcees, and producers, Q Strange was shown the ropes in hip hop music. Alienating himself from his classmates while struggling in school, he was seen as an outcast all the way through high school and became known as “Q Strange.” Finding himself more engulfed in writing verses than doing schoolwork, he eventually found solace through hip hop music. While growing up in Providence, Rhode Island, Q Strange lived a particularly difficult life with complicated family situations surrounding him. The emotion it attempts to convey along with the not-so-subtle insinuations of mortality is a bit risqué, but Q Strange embarks upon it, nonetheless, even when it involves sensitive topics such as school shootings or killing a prostitute seen in his re-release of “Strangeland.” The “Stephen King of Hip Hop?” Q Strange has lived up to his twisted moniker through his inventive horrorcore rap, a subgenre of hardcore rap that became popular by the Gravediggaz and Flatlinerz with music focusing on violence and death.
