What's in a name well if you are Imam T.H.U.G everything! his name has a powerful meaning Imam means Faith T.H.U.G - Truth, Hunger, Understanding, and Growth. It is a fitting declaration from the Queensbrige native having overcome challenges and setbacks He became a voice for those who somehow seem to have been forgotten by the system. He's no stranger to the music scene having introduced himself to Hip-hop fans on the 'War Report' by Capone N Noreaga the 16 bar dropped on “Driver’s Seat' was his announcement that he was a true Mc, lyrically sharp and ready to spar with the best of them. This was just the start of this QB legend's career as he was eager to make his mark on the music scene.
He went on to be a part of the group with his friend Tragedy Khadafi (Intelligent Hoodlum) they would call themselves 'Iron Sheiks' Telling the stories of the 'thug' where they made underground hits such as Tony Touch freestyle which is still talked about this day today.
The success he garnered from those efforts plus the tenacity that seems to me a natural part of the Queensbrige native never-say-die mentality ensured that when he partnered with Steve Sola for his solo project The Immortal Legend’ the album was centered around gratitude and reflection of trying times of past and present. Imam T.H.U.G showcases the true essence of a real MC.
In 2024 Iman T.H.U.G. Is poised to team up with Steve Sola again to create music and if the snippets are anything to go by Hip fans are in for a music treat from an artist that embodies the core principles of Hip Hop.
