Critical Praise for Del:
“…Del’s reputation has remained strong in both fan and critic circles.” – Thrasher Magazine
“The Homosapien is one hell of an entertaining MC” – YRB
The Song:
Del the Funky Homosapien’s recently released, entirely free new album, Funk Man (The Stimulus Package), covers a wide range of issues affecting the world right now. That’s not all it covers though, as “King Of Fighters” finds Del asserting his dominance, lyrically and physically, over all unworthy opponents. Over a hectic, mayhem-filled beat complete with strings, off-kilter drums, and sharp percussion Del raps, “Sir diesel, king of fighters / Bring on your big mouths, bring on your writers / They’re gonna be working overtime, catching arthritis / Bring whoever do your hooks, bring your choirs / Bring on your phony thugs, they’re all liars / Makes no difference to D, I’m on fire.” Wack emcees beware: Del’s been in the game for a long time, and with “King Of Fighters” it’s clear he hasn’t lost a step along the way.

The Background:
Funk Man (The Stimulus Package) marks Del the Funky Homosapien’s 14th project of a hip-hop career that spans almost two decades. Starting at the tender age of 17 as protégé to his cousin, Ice Cube, Del quickly rose to the top of the underground hip hop scene with his albums, I Wish My Brother George Was Here (1991) and No Need for Alarm (1993), both released through Elektra Records. Soon after parting ways with the label, Del helped found the Hieroglyphics family, comprised of notable emcees Pep Love, the Souls of Mischief, Casual, and Domino. In 1998 the critically acclaimed album 3rd Eye Vision was the first to be released under the Hieroglyphics Imperium label and since then Del has had consistent success with his solo and joint efforts, including Deltron 3030 (2000), Gorillaz (2001), Full Circle (2003), and Eleventh Hour (2008) to name a few. Funk Man (The Stimulus Package) features more of Del’s signature style, as this high-energy album is comprised of raw lyrics, driving rhythms, and Del’s undeniable funkiness. Released via Funnyman Entertainment on April 7th, Funk Man (The Stimulus Package) is available for free via http://delthefunkyhomosapien.bandcamp.com/.
