Del

Del tha Funkee Homosapien. He's a man of many names. Deltron. Del. Teren. Sir Dzl. 3030. Ghost Rapper. Ice Cube's cousin.

He has his hand in many hip-hop projects, and still has a career going strong. Not bad for a career that launched with a cheesy 90's rap song

Most people these days will just know him as the guy that raps in the Gorillaz first album. Something which first introduced him to me, before I explored all of his other work. As far as I'm concerned, he has one of the most unique voices in hip-hop. I can pick him out in almost anything.

He's bringing out his extensive back catalogue for a tour soon.

Del the Funky Homosapien

It's a hip-hop family affair this week, with Ice Cube's cousin releasing a new album. Del the Funky Homosapien, aka Del tha Funkee Homosapien, aka Deltron, aka Deltron 3030, aka Del the Ghost Rapper. He's probably best known for the song Mistadobalina and the rapping on the first two Gorillaz albums, which is a pity, as he is one of the better hip-hop artists of the last decade.


Del's new album is entitled It Ain't Illegal yet, and you can get it legally right here: http://delthefunkyhomosapien.bandcamp.com/album/it-aint-illegal-yet-pick-your-price. Like a lot of other artists these days, Del is making it almost free ($US3 is the cheapest you can get), on a sliding scale of what you want to pay. For a lazy few grand he will even make an EP with you as the creative input.

And for you cheap bastards, the first song is free.
