Psychedelic bars and spacey beats are having a moment in mainstream hip-hop, as emcees embrace the weird. But lysergic lyrical constructions and out-there instrumentals are nothing new in rap music. Just ask Del the Funkee Homosapien and Amp Live. Both Bay Area-based artists have been experimenting with alternative approaches to their respective crafts for years. As one-third of Deltron 3030—along with Dan the Automator and Kid Koala—Del was part of one of the greatest underground rap releases ever; for his part, Amp Live had a viral moment when he remixed Radiohead’s In Rainbows. The pair have a new album together: Gate 13. (NV)
