Teren "Del The Funky Homosapien" Jones was  a latch-key kid of Oakland, CA in the 1970's, a lover of Hanna Barbera cartoons, and had advanced knowledge of computer technology from an early age. Often dismissed as "slow" in grade-school, Del took his passions and found an outlet for them all in the art of Hip-Hop. Come on a journey through his life and hear how he leveraged his family connection with Ice Cube and his love for technology, cartoons, and art, and turned it into becoming one of the most iconic, legendary MC's out of Oakland, and one of the few that has transcended multiple generations and genres.
