2000s era concept rap album about an intergalactic rap battling warrior in the year 3030. Best known for being Ice Cube’s cousin and his appearance in Gorillaz ‘Clint Eastwood’.
From pitchfork’s review in 2008:
“On Deltron 3030, he unravels an album-length narrative about the titular year, in which he's a superhero named Deltron Zero (a plot not entirely dissimilar from that of RZA's Bobby Digital). Armed with his two sidekicks, the Automator (here saddled with the unfortunate sobriquet "The Cantankerous Captain Aptos") and scratch mastermind Kid Koala (aka "Skiznod the Boy Wonder"), Deltron-Z combs the galaxy, supporting his secretive Earthling existence by participating in weird rap battles where one's rhymes summon psychic powers that physically damage the opponent.”

the ORIGINAL unsigned legend. this man spent years dogwalking labels who wanted him and remains maybe the greatest “what if” in the history of music. any fan of the mixtape era must study his entire catalog (lovingly and extensively preserved by his family and friends) but specifically THIS TAPE. there has never been a rapper like him before, or since, bridging the 90s obsession with lavish luxury into the 2000s braggadocious era and creating the GORGEOUS GANGSTA.
this man roomed with lupe fiasco and got on kanye beats in 2002, knew lil wayne was going to be the greatest in 2007, and bolstered some of the greatest deep cuts in the Dipset catalogue. his music sounds like two years in the future - always.
rest in peace STACK BUNDLES.

Social media can encourage us to constantly seek out the novel and makes us feel like we're missing out if we don't.
It's much better for peace of mind, in my opinion, if we let go of the immediate, and use impermanence as our filter for information.
We don't all need to watch the latest streaming show, or hear the latest album.
What needs to find us, and what we need to find, usually finds a way

In a world where monopolization is allowed, sometimes you can only drop Trader Joe's for union busting, while keeping your Amazon account.
Real, wide change in this world might require a new 2020, but we can do a little bit better a little at a time
