Okay we have all sorts of people in-boxing us and calling us to explain both sides of this situation with Rhode Island horrorcore legend Q Strange and his music popping up online again. We want people to be able to get both sides of the situation. We just had a phone to phone conversation personally with Mad Insanity Records. We were refreshed with more of the back history details of when Mad Insanity Records owned rights to some of Q Strange’s past material for over 15 years. We were told that recently D-Roc of Scumbag Superstar Presents was given the rights to some of Q Strange’s back catalogue by Mad Insanity Records. We were also informed that D-Roc is actually related to Q-Strange as cousins and D-Roc dumped a bunch of money into Q’s project, but Q retired from music and no money was recuperated. When the flyer of the rare track “Under the Ground” was first dropped several of our readers pointed out the track was not new, as other social media music related groups/pages and some underground fans had saod it was “new”. Soon after we were then also linked to an this LAST FM playlist where “Under the Ground” (2004) is still listed to stream. https://www.last.fm/music/Q+Strange/New+And+Rare+Shit But then Q Strange himself came out of the underground shadows and made a post that stated he wasn’t involved with any of the content and merchandise being re-released.
But as stated, Mad Insanity Records just recently gave up the rights to what they owned of Q-Strange’s music and D-Roc will now continue to re-release all of Q Strange’s material through Scumbag Superstar Presents. But Q Strange will not see a cent of any of the sales because as stated by Mad Insanity Records, D-Roc now owns the rights behind the music of Q Strange and D is trying to make the money back he lost. But in the end the choice is up to the underground supporters/our readers if they want to support any of the content/merch found at Qstrange.com released by Scumbag Superstar Presents. We wish no trouble from any sides. We just hope Q Strange will properly return on his own!
