Crazy Town’s music and image were influenced by the diverse sociocultural environment of Los Angeles, where different neighborhoods such as South Central and Beverly Hills exist in close proximity.

Led by producers and vocalists Seth “Shifty Shellshock” Binzer and Bret “Epic” Mazur, Crazy Town blended hip-hop’s lyrical style and rhythm with live rock instrumentation. This combination resulted in a number one hit in 2001 when “Butterfly” topped the Billboard 100, contributing to the platinum status of the band’s debut album, The Gift of Game.
