this is a common misconception. Rodan did not leave KMD because of high school, he actually was replaced because he was way too big to fit in the studio
Rodan is a boxing journalist now. I know this sounds sketchy coming from a 1-sub account. You'll just have to believe me on this one. Not too long ago I saw a post from a producer who worked with him saying that Rodan had published a book(!) about boxing. This producer had a long history with Rodan, so naturally I followed the link and surprisingly enough it led me to a "Norrin Raddical". I looked at "Norrin"'s account some more. Sure enough, he was Rodan: one of the things that clued me in was that he's credited as part of the soundtrack for "On the Ropes" (which he featured on). Not only that, he also thanked some of the same people in the book that he did in the liner notes for Theophany (these people being family members and whatnot). Based on what was listed in his portfolio, I was able to come to the conclusion that Rodan switched gears sometime in the 2010s. This lined up with a couple UA-cam comments I saw talking about how Rodan went into business ventures and whatnot. ---- In spite of all that I unfortunately still don't have an answer as to whether Rodan is alive or not; his portfolio doesn't go beyond 2019. Here's hoping.
@@alexaleman4385 Different one actually. Walasia aka "M. Moreau", she co-produced Ruler of Day and Night with DOOM. Even though she only worked on the one track she has a lot of posts related to Rodan on her social media. It's funny you say that though because I saw MeccaGodZilla comment on one of Rodan's songs not too long ago (I believe it was from the Amerikkkan Inquisition mixtape). He mentioned something about waiting on a response from Rodan.
@@nukethemuke2914 Any information on any of these guys is always really cryptic. Monsta Island Czars are definitely one of the most mysterious rap groups ever. I did speak to MechaGodzilla recently this year and he said he had some new music coming soon that would feature Rodan. He wouldn't confirm or deny anything else really besides that. Im assuming he is still alive. The author of that book is peculiar for sure. Hard for me to actually say if its rodan or not. Funny enough there is 1 review for the book and its written very similar style to the book itself making me wonder if that review is the author themselves. Megalon is just a big of a mystery as Rodan. Wish there was more info on these guys. Xray did a in depth interview you can find on youtube that goes into a lot MIC stuff but still doesn't answer many questions.
@@nukethemuke2914 wow---thank you so much, this has a long mystery, now solved, for me. i am still trying to figure what happened to megalon, aka tommy gunn, thomas n. rollins, black jeezus, backwoods productions, etc-i got an address in long beach, also i got that-he's 48, born sept 21 76 and they listed a 516 cell phone number, i'm thinking he's incarcerated or doing time unfortunately./
we made some songs for a full album with Rodan back in 2009-2010 I want to say ... out of Rochester NY ... Producer Husky who did alot of my albums was working on a project and showed me a handful of songs. I dont think they finished and I didnt pry into what they were doing. But I know there's a few tracks for an alleged project we recorded.

Onyx isn't lost. I remember seeing that someone found a video of him giving a speech at a funeral, he just stopped making rap music. This sadly means that eventually all of KMD will have died, considering that Onyx himself isn't so young anymore.
His name is Alonso hodge. He’s on Facebook. He made a long ass post dedicated to DOOM after he died. He’s still active active on Facebook, but yeah no music these days.
Thank you for making this. I didn't know there was more Rodan following his album. You could a video on Spoon of Iodine. Very very similar thing to him. But even less music, but years before and just as Edgy/Ahead of his time.
I remember around 2010 when amerikkan album was being uploaded. I tried to get an album started for rodan with the money the government gave me for college lol. Told him I can get beats artwork, mix and master etc.. I remember getting in touch with him or someone close to him and I think they said he was in jail or rehab but my memory isn’t that good to remember. Sad to hear this news if he did pass.
Southern Africa has some of the dopest emcees you've never heard of! Take it from one of them for the last two decades and my first hand experience hearing these guys with my own ears and seeing them live. I don't even think its sad that a lot of these cats are dead and others will never be mainstream big because that's what has been Divinely Decreed by that Great Power holding the Earth and the Heavens. I also feel blessed to been witness to emcees such MF Doom (RIP), Mizchif (RIP), Pro Kid (RIP), Ben Sharpa Than Most (RIP), Snazz D & X-Amount, HHP (RIP), Nduna (?), and so many more! These are my luminaries and beloved brothers!
Rodan(From Godzilla)is Count bass D and Mr Fantastic.

Masks off Knee Watchee Cambee UA-cam channels on the masked phenomenon in hollywood and the world stage.
Megalon has said on his personal yt 'Robert warfeild' "it's only infinit Evol and MF GRIMM now. No computer talk cause what I did to them in the streets" King Cesar has released a beat tape about 6 months ago called "Bud Strains" though.
That's not Megalon. That's Infinit Evol who also uses the name Megatron. megatron and megalon are different. Tron is from transformers and lon is from Godzilla. Just wanted to make that clear.

I actually used iMovie for this. I plan on getting some better software soon.
I think it’s cool to mention on “MM...More Food” that the 3 song ep by Rodan is on that album, thought it was interesting
