Respecta.is - The Ultimate Hip Hop Portal

One can't talk about classic 90s hip-hop without talking about Del The Funky Homosapien, one of the genre's more eccentric figures. Though he's primarily famous today for his guest appearances with Gorillaz & Handsome Boy Modeling School, Del has inspired new generations of alternative hip-hop artists with his humorous lyrics, and eclectically funky production values. It all began here with his 1991 album, I Wish My Brother George Was Here.

Del's debut has been heralded as a benchmark album for alternative hip-hop, bolstered by P-Funk inspired beats produced by Ice Cube, (Del's cousin) and featuring the underground hits "Dr. Bombay" and "Mistadobalina." (#9 on the 1992 Hot Rap Tracks chart.) Equal parts clever, thought-provoking, and goofy, I Wish My Brother George Was Here has been credited with injecting some humor and irreverence into the otherwise dour West Coast hip-hop culture of the 90s.

Traffic Entertainment Group is proud to re-issue this classic album from a classic era, so that new generations may be exposed to Del The Funky Homosapien's witty and innovative rhymes.
