Deltron 3030​is composed of a trinity of alt-rap all-stars: Master lyricistDel The FunkyHomosapien​, virtuoso turntablist DJKid Koala​and superproducerDan “TheAutomator” Nakamura​. Individually, they stand at the top of their respective musicaldisciplines; together, on the eponymous Deltron 3030, they warped space, bent time,transcended genre and blew minds, creating an album that still stands today as one ofthe most important records in the annals of underground hiphop. Critics called it amasterpiece — both timely and avant garde: “Exactly what you might expect from sucha teaming: a wildly imaginative, unabashedly geeky concept album,” said AllMusic.com.“It’s not only one of the best albums in either of their catalogs, but one of the best tocome out of the new underground, period.” Pitchfork called Nakamura the “poet laureateof creepy, oppressive beats,” describing the album as an “exciting” reimagining of “thefuture from the bottom up” that reveals Del as a “surprisingly acute social critic.” Now,over a decade later, they’re finally releasing the long-awaited followup to their debut —an album titledDeltron 3030: Event II​. “This record took 13 years, and the whole time fans are telling us we better come outwith Deltron right now — quit teasing me,” says Del. “Well, this is beyond a regularalbum. We’re bringing it all together here, and the fans, the critics, they all going to besurprised by what we got. You’ll see. When it comes out, if you got the money, you’regoing to wanna go buy it.”Or, as Nakamura puts it: “There isn’t another record that’s like this — it’s different fromanything else I’ve done and anything else that’s out there. This is going to soundincredibly pompous, but to me, this is the greatest rap record of all time.”
