Skullcandy takes out to see what a day off with Del the Funky Homosapien is like. Bukue One heads up to the Skullcandy office to beat kids at Skate and bust out a custom SK graffiti tag. Then Del hits up the Studio in SLC and rocks out a custom SK beat and freestyle! Del crush’s it, check it out for exclusive Del content!

odged into the hip-hop scene in 1990, Del started off his professional mceeing career writing lyrics for his cousin Ice Cube’s crew, The Lench Mob at the age of 18. After he had his share of contributing to other people’s albums, Del felt it necessary to go off and do his own thing. With the help of cousin Ice Cube, Del put out his first album in 1991 on the Elektra Recording Group entitled, “I Wish My Brother George Was Here”.

The album was met with critical acclaim, obtaining radio and video play nationwide. Yet, his cousin’s influence on the album was profound. As a whole, the hip-hop community had mixed feelings about I.W.M.B.G.W.H. Some felt it to be just too corny, while others thought it the flyest shit out there. Yet, there was no denying Del had lyrical talent just waiting to bubble up. However, his obvious Parliament/Funkadelic-inspired beats (Courtesy cousin, Ice Cube), did seem a bit played. Del, not pleased with the album himself, took matters into his own hands, and completely severed his relationship with Ice Cube for his next album, No Need For Alarm (Dec., 1994).
