Del the Funky Homosapien and his crew, the Hieroglyphics came out as a markedly non-gansta response to a growing West Coast scene.
After being called on at the age of 17 by his cousin Ice Cube, Del released two records on Elektra, ‘I Wish My Brother George Was Here’ (1991) and ‘No Need For Alarm’ (1993). Despite recognizable record sales, his third album ‘Future Development’ was never commercially released and Del parted ways with Elektra.
Apart from collaborations with PrincePaul, El-P (Company Flow), and help from a few of his Hiero collaborators (A-plus, Casual, Domino) Del handled the majority of production on his most recent album.
On his latest album, ‘Funk Man (the stimulus package)’, Del poetically covers the state of the economy as well as the state of the music business.
