They Will Rock You, Vol. 2: Del tha Funkee Homosapien

Artist No. 13

The Deal: The alt-hip hop artist might be the cousin of acclaimed hardcore rapper turned actor Ice Cube, but Del has never gone the gangster route. The 35-year-old emcee sacrificed a potentially massive commercial career when he chose to stay true to his Oakland, Calif., roots and bump the Boom Bap sound -- a definitive hip-hop movement in the Bay Area.

Sounds Like: Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest

Free Song: 'Bubble Pop' (MP3)
