Del the Funky Homosapien
West Coast hip-hopper Del the Funky Homosapien hit stardom when he rapped on “Clint Eastwood” — a mega pop hit from 2001 by the Gorillaz. But he’s also carved out a niche as hip-hop’s oddball, rapping about science fiction and comics. Kurt talks to Del about his new record Eleventh Hour and how his path diverged from that of his cousin, gangsta pioneer Ice Cube.
