Kaiju the Unconquerable “Ultraman”
One part MF DOOM, one part living breathing Anime story line, Southwest Miami rapper Kaiju The Unconquerable is in a lane all his own. A glorified, self-identified nerd, he started rocking stages at comic conventions – and even has the credit of being the first Hip-Hop artist ever to be featured in Shonen Jump, which has been the (print) ground-zero of all things Manga since it was launch 49 years ago.
Kaiju differs from other “weirdo” rappers, though – unlike an act like DOOM, he isn’t a character (per say). His songs and his image don’t hinge on each other to coexist. He uses a healthy amount comic and anime references, but no more than your average nerd-core spitter and thrives on a wave-appropriate trappish vibe.
Kaiju The Unconquerable Returns With A New Episode:

“Zenith a 27yr old who’s father Isaiah worked as a scientist at the SSSP in JAPAN. Zenith’s father was extradited back to the US after tampering with the ULTRA gene with a failed test on himself.

After being approached by Edo quickly Zenith was offered to begin training and join the ULTRAMAN in Japan but being that Zenith’s girlfriend Nima lives in the states he chose to be stationed in SSSP/US making him the only ULTRAMAN in the USA for capturing Alien escapee.”
Kaiju The Unconquerable is one of those artists that fails to ever settle into anything – in the best way possible. The shift in tone from “CYBERPUNK 2050” to “Ultraman” should a ton of range, with the quality of the video being the constant. While staying to a similar format, Kaiju manages to continually reinvent his sound, making each piece of his puzzle fit together while also standing out from the crowd.
