Sharkula
Sharkula (born August 27, 1973) (other alter egos include Thig, Brian Wharton, Thigamahjigee, Sherlock Homeboy, Dirty Gilligan) is a Chicago-area rapper. His lyrics are known for being scatterbrained, discontinuous, free-associative, non-violent, apolitical and random. He is also known as a flâneur for promoting his music and shows via use of hand-made flyers and stickers scattered around vending boxes in Chicago, and street marketing often with phrases such as "Hey, you like Hip-Hop?". He has appeared on Chic-a-Go-Go and his album Martin Luther King Jr. Whopper with Cheese was voted by readers of the Chicago Reader as one of the 20 best albums of 2004.
He has collaborated with Willis Earl Beal, who looks up to Sharkula for inspiration.
in 2016, Sharkula was named runner-up best street character of the year by the Chicago Reader.
