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).

Deltron's production creates a surreal atmosphere along with Del's unique style. His solo stuff has amazing production too but 3030 is sci-fi dreamlike type stuff.

I don't understand the hype that Deltron gets. It's like, I listen to deltron to and I like it, but I think his solo efforts are way better.

i haven't listened to automatik statik yet, and though lately it seems every time i turn around del has a new album, which is very admirable, i think when someone else is in charge of the project it tends to be better. i don't think it's del's production per say cause he definitely can make some nice beats (see If You Must) but his artistic vision to make it last for a whole album seems to be lacking. i'm not too hung up on never hearing deltron II either, only if it ends up like OB4CL2 do I want it to be released, don't let it be the next gnarls barkley pt 2. i'm very anxious about madvillainy 2 for these reasons

I can't make music but Funk man and automatik statik make my skin crawl, I really respect the man but I don't know what has happened. I really don't enjoy these messed up instrumentals and freestyle-esq. lyrics. I wanna try the Tame one album.

Still, Deltron 3030 is one of the greatest Hip Hop albums ever.Hard to top with a follow up I guess... Good that Del is back and working with new creative material though - even if Events II seems to be a looong way off
