Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030 [2000]


Shit son, what happens when you get one of the best MC's in history (Del tha Funkee Homosapien), the most musical turntablist on the planet (Kid Koala), and throw in the most underrated producer in the music industry (Dan the Automator). You end up with one of the most experimental, and "ahead of it's time" albums in hip-hop.
What you will find is an extremely lyrically gifted artist, laying down metaphors verse after verse. It may take you a while to absorb it all, but hey... it has substance. The music in the background may take a while to absorb as well. If you "feel" music, then this is something that you will like. Tthe concept album is based on a story set on the year 3030.

The album follows Deltron Zero's fight against an oppressive government and powerful corporations, while also battling to be the Galactic Rhyme Federation Champion.

Del's lyrics veer from serious social commentary to humor to epic sci-fi battles, while producer Dan the Automator creates an eerie and dense atmosphere.
