Monsta Island Czars
Monsta Island Czars (M.I.C.) was a Long Island/New York City Hip-hop collective that was formed by MF Grimm in 1993, and included MF DOOM among numerous Long Beach MC's, producers, DJs, graffiti artists, dancers, and entrepreneurs.
The members of the group take their names from movie monsters from Toho's Godzilla movies. Escape from Monsta Island!, their only officially-released full-length album, was released in 2003 by Metal Face Records and Benn Grimm Entertainment. Most M.I.C. tracks were produced by King Cesar (aka X-Ray) or King Ghidra (aka MF DOOM).
There was a rumor in 2003 that a follow-up album was set to release, titled Return To Monsta Island - however, this was dispelled in a 2009 interview with X-Ray. Fans soon became unsure whether the group was on hiatus or had broken up. Clues included the collective's MySpace webpage being deleted and their official site (monstaisland.com) going dark. In 2007, rumors continued that M.I.C. was still active and working on new tracks, but nothing seemed to come out of it. The group broke up in 2008 but reunited in 2010.
In 2013 and 2016, X-Ray released two new albums titled All Hail The King and All The King's Men, featuring multiple members of M.I.C.
