Hi. I'm an emcee hailing from KL, Malaysia by the name of hqa.

The name hqa was just a typo of my real name which I used to use when I play counter-strike. It's open to interpretation, I once answered a question regarding my name by saying it meant "he questions answers", well that sounds pretty cool don't it, there are also others given by my friends such as "heavily qualified assasin" (wordsmanifest) or "hoe quality ass" (big ben). Warhkahkhkga. Suka hati lah. I don't really care allthough I just wrote a few sentences about it.

My musical influences/inspirations internationally :- 2pac, the Wu Tang Clan (esp. Inspectah Deck), Atmosphere, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Company Flow, Sage Francis, The Roots, Mos Def, Guru, Madlib/Quasimoto, Jedi Mind Tricks, Jeru the Damaja, Necro, J-Live, Common Sense, Del (Plus the Hieroglyphics gang), Billy Joel, The Stylistics, Delfonics, Kevon Edmonds, Boyz II Men, Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, At The Drive-In, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Rancid, The Skatalites, The Ramones, The Beatles, Dream Theater, Deftones, NOFX, Bob Marley and The Wailers, The Strokes, Weezer and more.

My musical influences/inspirations locally :- Illphonics, The Sicksiderz, The Rebel Scum, Teh Tarik Crew, Too Phat, Da Joint, Naughtius Maximus, Butterfingers, Sil Khannaz, Vociferation Eternity, As-Sahar, Riusgnal, N.E.T, Chronic Mass, The Pilgrims, Project A.K, Novokane, Love Me Butch, Lyme and more.

Argh. Too many to mention lah f***ers. Will add from time to time.

There's no certain style to describe my music, it's just I don't know, some f***er talking slightly faster than standard talking speed on some beat. I also belong to a crew known as The Rebel Scum, watch out for our upcoming EP!
