Rodney Stevenson (born January 31, 1974) better known by his stage name Islord is a rapper and a member of the hip hop group Killarmy. Although named Rodney Stevenson at birth,he, as all members of Killarmy, is a Five Percenter, and, thus, changed his name legally to Islord. The first three letters of his name: I, S, L, are also the first three letters of "Islam"; in the Five Percent way of life, "Islam" does not represent the religion but "I.S.L.A.M." which is often represented as "I Self Lord And Master."[1] The name Islord is a reiteration of the rapper's assertion of his divinity: "I Self Lord," and a fusion of the terms "Islam" and "lord." Islord is also known as the "Thief of Baghdad."[2] In addition to appearing on Killarmy's albums, Islord appears on two tracks from Bobby Digital in Stereo and the song "Holy Water" from Dom Pachino's Unreleased solo album.[citation needed]
