Hieroglyphics member and co-founder Del the Funky Homosapien has dropped a brand new album, Funk Man: The Stimulus Package, and guess what? It's free.

As previously reported, Del has a plan to "revive" the public who is "over the whole rap era", via a stimulus package during this "recession of funk."

"I got a 13-point stimulus plan that's guaranteed to restore funk to our government. It's called Funkman, come and get it now," says the rapper. "You don't have to pay nothing baby. It's free, on the house. ... You'll simulate your brain and your funk in areas where you need it most."

The 13-points stands for the 13 tracks included on the free album. Head over to DelTheFunkyHomosapien.Bandcamp.com to get your free copy now.

The high-energy album is comprised of raw lyrics, driving rhythms, and Del's undeniable funkiness. Throughout Funk Man, Del challenges the listener to be genuine, especially when he says, "it's okay to be who you are. You can be free. So what if people are taking about you, they're going to be talking about you anyway and they probably want to be you. They wish they could by funky, let their hair grow out, be like you."

Del shows his commitment to this message and the funk in each track, from "Get It Right Now's" sense of urgency, to "And They Thought That Was Hell's" pop culture warning, and "Straight From the Big Bad West Coast's" historical breakdown.

Funk Man Del the Funky Homosapien's 14th project, as he looks back on almost two decades in the game.
