Today is rapper Del the Funky Homosapien's birthday, my dudes - who was born back in 1972.
Del made his start by writing lyrics for his cousin Ice Cube's rap group Da Lench Mob, and in return Ice Cube helped release Del's kick-ass debut album, I Wish My Brother George Was Here, when Del was just 18 years old.
Most folk will probably be best familiar with Del for his work on the first Gorillaz album, where he performed on Rock the House, and most famously, Clint Eastwood. Failing that, there's also the multiple contributions to various videogame soundtracks, including the entire score for Skate 3, that you may recognise his work from.
Del, have a rad birthday.
