"After breaking out of the Bay Area underground scene in the early '90s with
I Wish My Brother George Was Here
,
Del The Funky Homosapien
made a radical turn with his sophomore release, '93's
No Need For Alarm
. Casting aside the familiar G-funk vibe of his debut, perhaps as
No Need
was produced without the involvement of his cousin
Ice Cube
and
The Boogiemen
, he moved into a jazzier -- some would say more East Coast direction with production by the
Hieroglyphics
crew of
Domino
,
A-Plus
,
Casual
, and Del himself with contributions from the
SD50s
. The verbal content on
No Need
shifted as well, moving away from comic interludes and towards a focus on battle raps.
No Need For Alarm
is one of the three Hiero Golden Age releases (along with
Souls of Mischief
's '93
til Infinity
and
Casual
's
Fear Itself
). Though some critics are harsh on
No Need For Alarm
and claim it's not as strong an effort as Del's debut, many disagree and see this release as being the first where Del really stood out. Regardless of which side of the fence one falls on that topic, it's without doubt that
No Need For Alarm
has stood the test of time and remains a challenging and uncompromising follow up from one of the most talented and eccentrically gifted artists to ever emerge from the world of West Coast hip hop. To commemorate the 30th Anniversary, Get On Down is presents a limited edition double colored vinyl pressing with a stamped numbered OBI and fold out poster."
