It seemed like it was finally coming. Del the Funky Homosapien’s new album, The 11th Hour, was scheduled for an October 16 release, ending over seven years of silence. Then it was delayed again.

This time, according to an interview with the Smoking Section, the pushback is due to a fomenting arrangement with Definitive Jux which, if all goes to plan, will issue the album early next year in conjunction with Hiero Imperium.

“Looks like I’m possibly fucking with El-P you know for the release of this through Def Jux. I’ve known El-P for a long time,” Del told the Smoking Section. “11th Hour is my best work to date. It’s a Del album so don’t expect to be listening to no crazy space shit or none of that shit. If you want that you got to listen to Deltron. This is strictly about me, how I get down, my real world shit and I how I get through it.”

In the meantime, Del is giving fans a taste of The 11th Hour during a two-month tour. Joining him on the Serendipity tour is Devin the Dude, the much beloved Houston rapper whose laconic drawl gives Del a run for his money. As usual, Bay Area rapper Bukue One will help move the crowd. Other guests slated to pop up include Hieroglyphics associate A-Plus and, on selected dates, Embedded crews Junk Science and Iller Than Theirs.
