Del The Funky Homosapien - Future Development (New Metallic Blue Vinyl)

Limited Edition 2LP On "Metallic Blue" Coloured Vinyl

Future Development is Del the Funky Homosapien’s third album and, following his departure from major
label Elektra, his first solo full-length for his independent label, Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings.

Originally released on cassette in 1997, and later reissued on CD and vinyl in 2002, the album largely relied on in-house production from Del along with contributions from Hiero crew members A-Plus, Opio, and Toure. The only guest feature on the album is from crew member Casual, who joins Del on the energetic “Checking Out The Rivalry.”

Ultimately, the album captures a snapshot of his progression from raw talent to a more conceptually matured songwriter. It remains a significant and under-appreciated chapter in Del’s evolution, showcasing early seeds of the creativity and independence that would come to define much of his career thereafter.
