JJ is probably a reference to Janeiro Jarel, the producer of DOOM’s next album and remixer of this song. Alternatively, it might refer to JJ from the show Good Times who had a catch phrase where he would say “Dynomite”.
DOOM on working with JJ in this interview:
After that I met him out in L.A., I was working on the Madvillain record and he was out there working on something too, so we would be bumping into each other. We lived close by, so we would kick it, talk about music. We had mutual interests, equipment, shit like that. At that time we wasn’t really doing no work together, more like ‘yo you heard this?’, ‘where you get that from?’, ‘how you make that sound?’, ‘you got an 808 I can borrow?’ shit like that, you know. And then I moved here and it was the label’s idea to do a song with JJ, do a song for this compilation which then snowballed into an album. It wasn’t expected to be an album at first, but I ended up choosing a lot of JJ’s beats and he ended up being the main producer on it, actually the only producer on it.

Potentially a further reference to some of the teachings of Dr. Malachi York, founder of the Nuwaubian movement, who would go on to incorporate UFO and Egyptian iconography into his belief system. For reference, here is the residential compound he constructed in 1991, though it is unclear to what degree DOOM adhered to or was influenced by his teachings as York was found to be guilty of extensive predation following a massive volume of reports around the time of this album’s release.

Ed Leedskalnin was a Latvian immigrant and amateur sculptor who single-handedly built the monument known as Coral Castle in Florida, which he built to win the affection of his 16 year old fiancee who left him on their wedding day.
Like executive producer Alex Threadgold says in Frank151:
Like I said, sometimes you can’t tell the magic form the science. On “A Dead Mouse,” Vik references Ed[ward] Leedskalnin as if they went to high school together, like Vik did with Peter Parker. Leedskalnin was famous for—among other things—building an enormous castle from coral as a tribute to his lost love, his “Sweet Sixteen.” How he built it may be a mystery, or it may have been thanks to Ed’s esoteric mastery of levitation. Sounds like Vik picked up tips from dude.
