Crazy Town became one of the most successful groups of the most commercial evolution of nu metal in its most rap and funky side. His first album, “The Gift Of Game” (99) sold more than two and a half million copies worldwide and placed the popular hit “Butterfly” at the top of the charts. The song was based on a sample of “Pretty Little Ditty” by Red Hot Chili Pepperswith whom they toured in those days.
After a second full-length, Crazy Town split up in 2003 to return later in 2007 and release a third album in 2015 under the title of “The Brimstone Sluggers”. As soon as Crazy Town separated, Shifty Shellshock began a solo career with which he also did not obtain the expected impact after having been number one in the United States with “The Gift Of Game”.
