C-Rayz & Sharkey Form Monster Maker

Everyone has a breaking point. This is the general idea behind the Sharkey and C-Rayz Walz collaboration album Monster Maker. Sharkey breaks down the concept further: "I feel like the world is the monster maker and I feel like everyone, no matter how good of a family you've been raised by, or how good of a person you are, is capable of being that person that is sitting in the middle of bumper to bumper traffic for an hour one day and on the verge of going out and blasting people. Everyone has those moments where they feel like they can cross the line, everyone has that seed in them where they're capable of doing something monster shit." After completing Monster Maker, Walz unequivocally feels that Sharkey is "the best I've ever worked with. Sharkey’s [influences] are everything," Walz explains, "they're rock, they're synth, they're techno, they're Hip-Hop…they're everything…he made a monster and now he's here to bite everybody's fuckin' head off man." Look for the Monster Maker CD to drop early 2007, and if you’re at CMJ this week in NYC be sure to check out some of Monster Maker’s scheduled performances
