Imiskoumbria (Greek: Ημισκούμπρια), also known as Imiz is a hip-hop group formed in 1994 in Athens, Greece.
The group's roster has been the same since its inception in 1994, constisting 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 for the establishment of hip-hop as a force to reckon within the Greek music.

Disbanded in 2017.

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.
