Description
Oakland native Del the Funky got his start writing lyrics for Ice Cube, who also happens to be his cousin. He released his first solo album over 20 years ago at the age of 18 then founded underground hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics soon after. Del the Funky’s style brought the regional Oakland sound and the freestyle-based “golden era 90’s” hip-hop to a broader audience, and he has since contributed his funk to collaborations with the likes of Gorillaz and Handsome Boy Modeling School.
