Morten Aasdahl Eliassen (born 25 September 1976), also known as stage name Opaque or the alias Mae, is a Norwegian rapper from Furuset in Oslo.[1]
He is signed to Tommy Tee's record label Tee Productions, and released the album Gourmet Garbage in 2001.[2]
In 2011 he appeared under the alias Mae (Morten Aasdahl Eliassen) on Jesse Jones debut album 12 blokker, 1 vei inn.
Opaque was in the group Valuable Scamps which he established with Small MC, Kenny Bong and DJ Daniel Gude.[1] After a few years the group disbanded, and he instead became associated with Tommy Tee's then newly established label Tee Productions. From 1997 to 2000, Opaque was a guest artist on releases from Warlocks, Tommy Tee, Helen Eriksen, N-Light-N (Now known as Son Of Light) and diaz. He also participated on Tee Productions compilation albums T.P. Allstars: Norske Byggeklosser and ScandalNavia Vol. 1.
Opaque & Kenny Bong have since been affiliated with The Loudmouf Choir, a distinctive group, which both Tommy Tee and the American rapper Sean Price are members of. The group is most noted for singing choruses on songs for artists like Smif-N-Wessun, Ken Ring, Krs-one and Buckshot. A single from their album Cameltoe named Skankboxx featuring Sean Price was released on 16 December 2011.[1] On 13 April 2012 their debut album Cameltoe was released.
Opaque is primarily an English-language rapper, but on some releases he raps in his native language under the alias Mae, among others on ScandalNavia Vol. 1 and Jesse Jones debut album 12 blokker, 1 vei inn.
