Lil Squid

Squid is a character by Jarrod Van Hauen, created for his rap career.

For Squid Thoughts, the prefix was "Lil" Squid, and for squid.ink, the prefix was "DJ" Squid. An intended third and fourth album would've seen him become "Doctor" Squid and "Mcee" Squid, respectively.

The character idea stemmed from Van Hauen purchasing a squid hat.

In 2021, Dylan Van Hauen was gifted the squid hats, leaving the mantle handed to him.
