About Del the Funky Homosapien

Cousin of renowned rapper Ice Cube, Del began his career writing lyrics for Cube's backing band, Da Lench Mob . In 1991, with the help of cousin Ice Cube, Del released his first solo album at 19 years of age, I Wish My Brother George Was Here . The album was a commercial success, largely due to the popularity of the hit single, "Mr. Dobalina." And ultimately Del, who was not pleased with the limited musical range of the album, took matters into his own hands, and severed his production-artist relationship with Ice Cube for his next album, No Need for Alarm. No Need for Alarm also saw the introduction of the famous Oakland clique Hieroglyphics , whose original members included the widely acclaimed Souls of Michief, Casual, Domino, and Pep Love. No Need for Alarm was a bold move on Del's part as it allowed him to develop, display, and solidify his unique style as an MC, and also helped to expose both the regional Oakland sound of hip hop, as well as the freestyle based, "golden era-97" style of hip hop being expanded at the time. Rather than the use of multiple funk samples, including those of Pfunk No Need for Alarm features a bold, classic hip hop sound, often referred to as an updated Oakland version of "Boom Bap," which is a certain archetypal hip hop sound, and because Del and his crew represents Oakland, California. The sound of this album was largely due to the production work of Domino, a producer for the Heiroglyphics crew. The album No Need for Alarm is still today considered one of the greatest albums ever to come out of Del, Heiroglyphics, or Oakland, and is highly reguarded as one of the all time classic albums of hip hop. The instrumental pressings of this record is considered the "holy grail" of hiphop instrumental albums, due to the quality of production on the album and also due to its extremely limited pressing. Due to touring, mundane activites, and frequent psychedelic drug use it would be another five years before the release of his third album. About a month before the release of his third album Future Development Del received an auspicious letter from his label, Elektra, stating that his contract had been terminated
