Del Funky Free


Short for cash these days? Hieroglyphics member Del the Funky Homosapien would appear to understand both the state of today's economy and the state of today's music business, as he's announced that his next album, Funk Man, will be released for free.

The Bay Area native—often considered one of the pioneers of underground hip-hop—gave little reason, other than a need to save his genre, for releasing the album sans price tag. As the release's title and this message suggest, he'll focus on the funkier side of hip-hop for this, his seventh full-length to date. And with track titles like 'I'm Smellin' Myself" and "Hardcore Punks Can't Take It," Del hasn't, it seems, lost any of his quirk or humor over the years. Download the album come April 7.
