This is one of my fave political tracks. It’s called Politics. That’s direct enough, innit? From Oakland’s collectiv underground hip-hop site. Brilliant.

Professor Del Teaches “Heavy 101”
Del The Funky Homosapien has been one of my favorite recording artists (notice I didn’t qualify that with a genre) since “Virus” on that Deltron 3030 album. If you sleepted on that, you must proceed here for processing. So freakin’ brilliant. But I digress. Here’s Del again in top form, continuing further edification in “Heavy 101.”

DL from delthefunkyhomosapien.bandcamp.com in any format known to man.
Buy the whole digital album from delthefunkyhomosapien.bandcamp.com/album for $3 or more. Yep, pick your price, is the deal, which is as forward thinking as the material. Sleep not lest ye be slept.
Restiform Bodies Straddle The Great Cosmic Commercial Break
Nuther one from the old mp34u vaults. Restiform Bodies are a trip and a half running rampant in an old school game show set. You know the one, where a studio tanned blonde with ten miles of white teeth snakes her arms toward one of three stages as the announcer bellows, “a new car!” and the APPLAUSE light elicits cheers and oohs and aahs. Them were good innocent days, where cars and napalm was made in America and “tea party” meant a gathering of nice ladies with poodles. “Bobby Trendy Addendum,” ladies and gents. This are some fuktup sh!t.

Belligerent brain butter. Vagabond Skills indeed. An observation from the grime between the slabs of civilization. Echoes of Tricky. Seething tribal tribulation with troubling tree smoking terrible terrificness. Drink some water.
