Del the Funky Homosapien is an alternative hip-hop artist. Del was born Teren Delvon Jones, August 12, 1972, in Oakland, California. Del was part of his cousin Ice Cube’s backing band Da Lench Mob and made his first solo album, I Wish My Brother George Was Here, with support from his cousin in 1991. Critics and fans had mixed opinions about the album, many feeling that Del’s and Cube’s styles weren’t an ideal match. Del decided to part ways with his cousin for his next album, No Need for Alarm, which allowed him to find his own style and subject matter, and also start his own crew, Hieroglyphics.

In 1996, Del was ready to release his Future Development album. However, just before its release, Del was released from his recording contract with Elektra Records. Around this same time, Souls of Mischief, Extra Prolific and Casual (all members of Del’s Hieroglyphics group) were all released from their recording contracts with Jive Records. Frustrated, Del and the rest of Hieroglyphics decided to start their own record label, called Hieroglyphics Imperium. Because of the problems with Elektra, Future Development was available only on cassette via the Hieroglyphics website for a time, until its eventual widespread release on CD in 2002, six years after its proposed release date.

The mistreatment of Del & Hieroglyphics by their record labels became infamous in hip-hop circles, as a perfect example of “industry rule #4080” (record company people are shady).

Del definitely has one of the nicest flows of all time. He deserves more credit than he gets. I'd take him over Pac, Biggie, Nas or Hov any day, no disrespect.

Automatik Statik is dreadful, believe me. I thought Funk Man had a few decent tunes but Automatik Statik is just noise.

I'm really not sure why, but I can't stop listening to 'I Wish My Brother George Was Here'. The first four songs on that album have such good bass riffs and so much funk it blows my mind. 'Pissin' on your steps' is my favourite song, but it doesn't look like many other people listen to it :S
