Del Tha Funkee Homosapien is easily one of the most creative west-coast hip hop artists to ever touch a mic. As an lyricist he has styles upon styles. From unleashing his versatile flow upon jaw-shattering Dan The Automator instrumentals, to his slightly commercialized O'Shea Jackson influenced I Wish My Brother George Was Here, to the jazzy undercurrents of No Need For Alarm.
Although Del has an album for everyone and every mood, No Need For Alarm is my hands-down favorite. Commonly, artists reach their plateau on the debut and begin the steady decline on the sophomore album. No Need For Alarm is an opposite case study. Now, I Wish My Brother George Was Here is a certified west-coast classic, full of those bangin' funk-filled beats that were custom to California in the early 90's. And if that's your thing then by all means do what you need to track that album down.
No Need For Alarm marks the entrance of Del Tha flow magician. And those battle raps are great. Almost on some light-hearted, left-coast Big L shit. And did I mention the beats?
