Originally released on cassette in 1997, and laterreissued on CD and vinyl in 2002, the album largely relied onin-house production from Del along with contributions from Hierocrew members A-Plus, Opio, and Toure. The only guest feature onthe album is from crew member Casual, who joins Del on theenergetic \"Checking Out The Rivalry.\"Sonically, Future Development bridges the funk-heavy stylings ofDel's debut with the darker, more futuristic textures he explored onNo Need for Alarm. Lyrically, Del refines his rapid-fire wordplay withsharper thematic focus, tackling life in Oakland, societalobservations and hip-hop culture, all with a blend of humor,streetwise insight, and multi-syllabic dexterity. Ultimately, the albumcaptures a snapshot of his progression from raw talent to a moreconceptually matured songwriter. It remains a significant andunder-appreciated chapter in Del's evolution, showcasing earlyseeds of the creativity and independence that would come to definemuch of his career thereafter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Lyric Licking \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Stress the World \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Why You Wanna Get Funky \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Don't Forget the Bass \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Faulty \u003cbr\u003e1.6 X-Files \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Future Development \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Corner Story \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Love Is Worth \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Del's Nightmare \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Games Begin \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Town to Town \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Checkin Out the Rivalry Casual\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Del the Funky Homosapien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42838454337607,"sku":"46200075","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4511671-3575706.jpg?v=1780397286","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/del-the-funky-homosapien-future-development-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
