Del Tha Funky Homosapien is an often overlooked west coast rapper. He doesn't exactly fit with the gangsta rap scene that in many ways defines the west coast, but he has made a career out of being totally unique, which is not as easy as it sounds. However, for all of Del's success (see I Wish My Brother George Was Here) he hasn't exactly flooded the market with music. Therefore, the fact that Del is releasing this album, titled The Funk Man, for free on his website makes this Tuesday all the more joyous. He calls it a 'stimulus package' and I usually am wary of free albums thinking can they really be that good if even the artist doesn't deem it necessary to charge. But sure enough, this album is good and has some great tracks.
By the way, if you happen to be in the Mitten, Del himself will be performing at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor on May 5th.
