Deltron 3030

2000

Deltron 3030 is a sci-fi narrative album whose story casts Del The Funky Homosapien in the role of Deltron Zero, a disillusioned mech soldier and interplanetary computer prodigy rebelling against a 31st-century New World Order. In a world where evil oligarchs suppress both human rights and hip-hop, Del fights rap battles against a series of foes, becoming Galactic Rhyme Federation Champion.

You’d think a hip-hop concept album about interplanetary rap warriors battling to restore humanity’s hip-hop supremacy in a corporate-dominated dystopia would be cornier than the end result. 

In the epic opening song, 3030, Del paints a vivid picture of the post-apocalyptic world in the year 3030, and sets the stage for the rest of the album.
