History

Ahli Fiqir established in 2002 initially consisted of 3 original members - Fadali Mohd Darif (Daly Ahlifiqir; later known as Daly Filsuf), Samsolnahar Sibengat (Tukang Kata) and Noor Hidayati Mohamed Yusop (Mawar Berduri). The group itself was named after one of its members, Daly's stage name. Shortly after the group's formation, Ceza Mutyara or DJ Cza joined them, completing the group as a quartet.[6] In 2005, Ahli Fiqir released their first single, "Samseng", followed by their debut album, Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah. In 2006, the group won Best Singaporean Artist at the 2006 Anugerah Planet Muzik while their debut album won the Best Singaporean Album.

A year later, their second album, Rap Untuk Rakyat was released in mid-2007, two singles were released for the album.[7][8] In 2008, Ahli Fiqir alongside Pop Shuvit (Malaysia), Saint Loco (Indonesia), Thaitanium, Silksounds and M.E.M. (all from Thailand) and Slapshock (Philippines) formed the supergroup known as Project E.A.R. (Project East Asian Revolution), a collective consists of Southeast Asian musicians.[9] The group later released their debut and only EP, Irama Berima in 2009, this time without Tukang Kata who left due to other commitments, Ahli Fiqir then continued as a trio.[10] In April 2010, the group announced that they had officially disbanded.[4][5] However, in 2012, the group reunited for short period to perform at the special concert to thanking their fans who supported them for years. The group has since gone indefinite hiatus as all of its members concentrated on their respective personal lives and careers.
