Details:
Soul Stalkaz are a rap act with heavy metal influences from Winston- Salem NC, which they creatively and affectionately renamed Winston-Salem's Lot. Unlike horror-core rap groups of a similar genre, Soul Stalkaz sound is completely original and unique.
Soul Stalkaz came about when QPC, tired of the same old metal scene, quit his band to join forces with Darkseid, an already established M.C. in the area.(having released "Tha Soul Collecta" LP) The idea was to combine QPC's metal guitars, screaming vocals, and menacing lyrics, with the smooth,rapid fire, evil poetry of Darkseid. With the foundation of the music being Darkseid's electronic drum beats and samples. The two set to work and quickly came out with a 4 song EP. After creating a huge buzz in the underground, QPC and Darkseid decided on doing the Soul Stalkaz full time. After a hand full of gigs at small venues and private parties they put out another 4 song EP on Halloween of 2005, before releasing their first full length LP in early 2006 entitled "Devine Beingz".(Both EP's and the LP were released on their own independant lable, Quarter Pound Creations)
Soul Stalkaz developed a fan base through out North Carolina, playing clubs, bars, and parties, and even crossing over rap and hip-hop boundaries, playing with premier NC metal acts such as The Five L's, Timid, and Gillotine. Even with an unorthodox performance style (they rap over pre-recorded instumentals) their horror face paint and intense charisma instantly earned them a reputation as a live show you can't miss. The group most currently released "Tha Wickidist"EP(summer2006), and the "Trick or Treat"EP(Halloween 2006). 2007 is the year for their hardest release yet. a 17 track, self-titled LP.They are currently in the studio working on their first concept album tilted, "Lordz of DETH". All music is recorded by the Soul Stalkaz at Quarter Pound Creations recording studio owned and operated by QPC.


DARKSEID, 25 year old gifted rapper with an enormous imagination, a lightning fast tongue, and six years of experience. Darkseid makes all the electronic beats for Soul Stalkaz music.He co-writes and co-produces all Soul Stalkaz songs with QPC, and has the uncanny ability to write unbelievably emotional, visual, and meaningful lyrics that make you think, laugh, and incite controversy. Influenced by Esham, Natas, K-Rino, the R.O.C., & Gangxta Nip to name a few. With a great ear for production and knowledge of equipment(drum machines, keyboards, samplers, sequencers ect.) his technical talents are unsurpassed.


QPC, 26 year guitar playing, screaming, metal head. Started playing guitar at the age of ten, and hasn't stopped amazing ears since. QPC made his mark in the local music scene with the metal bands Demolition(singer, guitar player) and Bushogg(guitar player). His lyrics are dark and brooding and sound more like the screaming tirade of a death metal singer than a rapper. His trademark growl and piercing guitar solos help to make this rap group stand out from the rest. Influences include Pantera, ICP, Slayer, Twiztid, Metallica, Guns n' Roses, and Necro.


Since there is no real genre the Soul Stalkaz fit into, it's hard to describe their music. Soul Stalkaz are out to show the world what they have created, a brand new form of aggresive music.
