Rodan is apparently an alias of Doc Morreau, though little is known about either. Morreau’s alias was taken from Toho’s legendary flying kaiju, who starred in his own 1956 film before being incorporated into the Godzilla pantheon.

The MC was the original third member of K.M.D. along with the brothers Zev Love X (now known as MF DOOM) and the late DJ Subroc. Rodan left K.M.D. to finish high school before they signed to Elektra Records, and was therefore replaced with Onyx the Birthstone Kid.

He reunited with DOOM in 1997, joining the newly-formed Monsta Island Czars collective and appearing on DOOM’s debut record, Operation Doomsday. He appeared on MIC’s first and only official release, Escape From Monsta Island!, and released his debut EP, Flight Lessons, in 2002. This was followed up with his first (and so far only) official release, 2004’s Theophany: The Book Of Elevations.

A 2013 mixtape entitled AmeriKKKan Inquisition went unreleased, only to be leaked on a YouTube channel by user ‘RONOMICAL’. Little is known about the reasons for the project’s abandonment and the user who ultimately leaked it, which only adds to the sense of mystery that swirls about the rapper.

Rodan’s been elusive since, releasing no new music and making no new splashes in the music world. Despite his three-decade career in the rap game, his identity (and his face) remains a mystery.
