 | Deltron 3030 is a supergroup of hip hop artists, composed primarily of producer Dan the Automator, rapper Del tha Funkee Homosapien and DJ Kid Koala, all of whom also worked on the Gorillaz self titled debut album. Their work features many other artists as well, all taking on various futuristic pseudonyms. Their debut CD Deltron 3030 is a concept album set in the year 3030 that tells of the fight against huge corporations that rule the universe by Del's alter ego, Deltron Zero. The album is a landmark in the acid rap genre. The lyrics are characterized by extravagant allusions to futuristic outer-space themes in the tradition of work by Sun Ra and George Clinton. The song "3030" was used as the theme song on the short lived CBS series Robbery Homicide Division. Image File history File links This is a lossless scalable vector image. ...
