Del the Funky Homosapien: Both Sides of the Brain LP

In 2000, Del released his first solo album through Hieroglyphics Imperium Records, Both Sides of the Brain, seventeen tracks of pure Del. In the past, Del has felt restrained by the formulas in hip hop and the expectations fans place upon emcees who have had hits, but he says of his work on this album: “I’ve had complete control”. Apart from collaborations with Prince Paul, El-P, and help from a few of his Hiero cohorts (A-plus, Casual, Domino) Del handled the majority of production on this album. The album peaked at number 118 on the Billboard 200 chart.
