Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah (Today in History) is the debut studio album by Singaporean hip-hop group, Ahli Fiqir, released in May 2005 by Powder Records and Warner Music Singapore. The album was a huge commercial success and three singles were released.[1][2]
Background and production
Ahli Fiqir was established in 2002 with three original members—Daly, Tukang Kata, and Mawar Berduri. They did not record their own material until DJ Cza joined, completing the group as a quartet. They later signed a record deal with Warner Music Singapore.[3][4]
The album was recorded primarily in Haze World Studios and Platinum Studios in Kuala Lumpur and in Music Zone in Singapore.[5] For the album, Ahli Fiqir incorporates gurindam, syair and pantun, while preserving the Malay language.[6][7] Its lyrical themes centered on social commentaries and life realities.[8]
DJ Cza provides scratches for most of the tracks while DJ Mel provided piano sounds for "Ambila Ambillah" and Kelana Purba contributed Dikir Barat for "Dikir Rap".[5] The album was produced by Qumran with Altimet and Illegal serves as co-producer, while the mastering process was done by C.L. Toh at the Mastering One.[5]

The album was released in May 2005,[9] with "Samseng" being released as the album's first single.[10] Three music videos were made for the album, for the songs "Samseng", " Angguk-Angguk, Geleng-Geleng" and "Tik Tok Simpati".[11]
The album was well-received and selling 16,000 copies,[12] leading Ahli Fiqir to won Best Singaporean Artist and Best Singaporean Album at the 2006 Anugerah Planet Muzik.[13][14] A Malaysian special edition of the album was released in 2006, with some of the tracks were excluded and containing only one new song, "Cak Pong" and a video CD contains the music video for "Angguk-Angguk, Geleng-Geleng" and "Tik Tok Simpati".[15]
