Funky Homosapien Del


el The Funky Homosapien played a crucial role in the elaboration of West Coast underground rap with 1991’s I Wish My Brother George Was Here, which though co-produced by his cousin Ice Cube broke quickly from the sinister gangsta rap eclipsing airwaves at the time with its sappy humor and laid back vibe. While his major label days are gone and his most holocene (and biggest) commercial success came via his allocation to Gorillaz’s entry, 2008 proved to be a prolific year for Del, producing the solo effort Eleventh Hour and records with both his Hieroglyphics crew and his Deltron 3030 side project that marked his deduction into the Def Jux roster. He arrive here behind the Internet only 2009 release Funk Man.
