Description
Cousin of renowned gangster rapper Ice Cube , Del tha Funkee Homosapien got his start with Ice Cube's backing band, da Lench Mob. But Del's rap isn't as grim or violent as Ice Cube's is, in fact, he's been known to include something in his music that's far too uncommon in most rap: humor. Igned to Elektra/Asylum, Del's debut release, I Wish My Brother George Was Here, was issued in 1991 and produced by Cube. Del's follow-up, 1994's No Need for Alarm, was a departure musically. Having left Elektra, Del aligned himself closely to a few fellow rapper friends, Casual and Souls of Mischief, and issued his third release overall, 1998's Future Development, for the same label as his friends, Hieroglyphics Records. Del kept himself busy with guest appearances, including Damon Albarn project Gorillaz. In 2007 it was announced that the MC had been signed to Def Jux, who released Eleventh Hour in 2008.
