After breaking out with I Wish My Brother George Was Here, Del The Funky Homosapien took a bold turn on 1993’s No Need For Alarm. Moving away from his debut’s G-funk style, this album embraced a jazzier, East Coast-influenced sound with production from the Hieroglyphics crew. The focus shifted from humor to battle raps, marking Del’s first standout work. Though opinions vary, No Need For Alarm is a classic Hiero release that has stood the test of time as a challenging, uncompromising follow-up from one of West Coast hip hop’s most unique talents.
