1. "How Ya Like Me Now," the title track from his 1987 album, was one of a number of diss tracks this artist directed during his career toward his rival, LL Cool J. Who is this artist, born Mohandas Dewese in NYC in 1962?

I had no idea, but figured it was another ice/cold related rapper. Went with the wrong one.

This was the only island I could think and I only know of it because of the famous music festival. I had no idea about the historical tie.

I think I would have known this anyway, but after hearing the Garfield Monstrosity multiple times, it was unmissable for me. For your enjoyment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PExKw38rntw

Good question, but pretty easy for someone that is forced to watch WNBA commercials during the NBA finals.
