Once upon a time in a galaxy not far away, there lived two Kings. Each was the ruler of their own deliciously glorious planet. The first King, Black! (fka Manchildblack), was known throughout the cosmos for DJing booming beats and celestial sonics with earthy musical messages. The other King, Monstah, was a star in the solar system for their gravity defying performances, genderbending fashions and ethereal vocals. One magical night, an inexplicable ultramagnetic pull forced the two planets to collide. A technicolored explosion occurred, turning night into day, with a feast of aural and visual delights. It was then that the universe was changed forever. Black! and Monstah united and became The Illustrious Blacks!
