Monster Island Click is MF Doom's crew. Everyone has a name from one of the monsters who fought Godzilla. I'm not sure where Monster Island is supposed to be--maybe it's Manhattan? Check out the Monster Island Click on "Who you think I am?" off
Operation: Doomsday or on their upcoming full length on Metal Face Records.

On the ropes for songs from most of Monster Island, including MF Doom, Megalon, and Rodan.
Soon we should have some pictures of some of these monsters!
King Ghidora
This is MF Doom's alterego, a "three-headed beast." Many people think Ghidora is a guest artist on "Red & Gold." Nope, it's Doom.
Jet Jaguar
He has not yet appeared under this name, but you may have heard of Jet Jaguar's secret identity, MF Grimm. You heard it here first.
Megalon
Megalon (aka Tommy Gunn) is King Ghidora's right hand man. He came out on "Greenbacks" back in 1998. (The monsters have green backs, get it?) Megalon put out a couple of odd songs on Fondle Em shortly thereafter. "Peace to the Homeless" was fairly well received, but "One in a Million"'s triple speed rhymes, 80s beats, and faux Aaliyah chorus left most people scratching their heads. The writers at Dusty Groove didn't know whether to call it a work of genius or a "shoe-gazing mess." Personally, I'd call it a work of genius. Not only does Megalon rhyme about a mile a minute, his hyper flow is injected with insane multi -syllables. I'm fiending for more Megalon in the future.
I'm still looking for more information on the following members of the Monster Island Click:
Rodan
Kong
KD
X Ray
