Guest Posts
There are a total of eight guest contributions on the album. At the beginning, Dick Rules stages the "monster screams" on the intro. Bizzy Montana, with whom Chakuza recorded the collaboration album "Blackout" in 2006, can be heard on the song "Blind mute fucked up". Nazar from D-Bo's label "Wolfpack Entertainment" is featured on the song "The day you go", the Jamaican reggae artist Konshens in the chorus of the title track "Monster". The Austrian singer and guitarist Max Grubenmüller was jointly responsible for the musical part of "World on My Shoulders", but cannot be heard vocally on the said song. The Berlin rapper Sera Finale from I Luv Money Records is featured on the track "Wunderland" . He is the only rapper outside of Chakuza's immediate musical environment who is on the album. DJ Stickle is represented on the song "Alles zu Late" with a vocal part in the chorus. He also sang parts of "Alarmsignal", which is lyrically and melodiously based on "The Desert Lives" by Pierre Schilling . The track "Gold und Silber" features RAF Camora , who was featured on Chakuza's previous releases.

On the left of the cover you can see Chakuza looking to the side. Next to him is a monster looking in the other direction. Chakuza's eye is dark and worked like a monster. Occasional cracks can be seen on his neck. Except for Chakuza's clothes, the cover is completely black and white. The cover was designed by ID /// A&S. Steffi Superfly Schirnhofer was responsible for the design of the booklet.

criticism
“You don't have to waste a lot of words for the background music. Most of the beats are again produced by Beatlefield and, as always, come with great attention to detail, very bombastic and dark. All other beats, especially those from RAF Camora, are in no way inferior to these. Mostly one hears driving orchestral instruments, paired with synths, all of which underline the frustrated mood very well. […] “Monster in mir” is definitely an album that gets better and better after a lot of listening. You can tell that it was created at a time when the artist in Berlin just puked up on everything. Through this never-ending frustration, however, there is also a strong desire and hope for a new beginning and you know that Chakuza made this new beginning when he returned to Linz. [...] As usual, angry, dissatisfied and yes, just asocial on the one hand, very honest and personal on the other, that's Chakuza. Unlike many of his colleagues, he is always very independent and down-to-earth, makes himself vulnerable and therefore also very tangible and likeable for the listener. You feel what Chakuza is saying and you can find yourself in it or rub against it. "
“Chakuza's music is ideal for pensive and more depressed minds who would prefer to be in a different season now. The lyrics are atypical for the usual releases from the rap capital, embedded in a dark sound. Like many other rappers, Chakuza does not glamorously announce his punchlines, but only rewards active listeners if he lets his humor play between the lines. "
“Monster In Mir” behaves exactly as you are used to from Chakuza: productions at a high level, some personal content and a large number of battle tracks. What is certain is that Chakuza knows how to convince much more strongly in the quiet moments and that they therefore stand out from the crowd. Nevertheless, "Monster In Mir" is another very successful album by the Austrian rapper. "
