Deltron 3030 is the debut album by the
hip hop super group of the same name. It was released in October 17, 2000 by
75 Ark. It is a
rap opera concept album set in a
dystopian year
3030.
The album's story casts Del in the role of Deltron Zero, a disillusioned mech soldier and interplanetary computer prodigy rebelling against a 31st-century New World Order. In a world where evil oligarchs suppress both human rights and hip-hop, Del fights rap battles against a series of foes, becoming Galactic Rhyme Federation Champion. To celebrate, Del takes a trip back to Earth for a vacation, but is ambushed by his enemies and has his memory wiped, plunging the world back into darkness.
Del the Funky Homosapien's lyrics veer from serious social commentary to humor to epic sci-fi battles, while producer
Dan the Automator creates an eerie and dense atmosphere.
The song "3030" was used as the theme song on the short lived CBS series
Robbery Homicide Division. The song "Positive Contact" was featured in the video games
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX (2001),
Tony Hawk's Underground (2003), and
College Hoops 2K8 (2007).
The album's cover features a photograph of the
Perisphere, a structure constructed for the
1939 New York World's Fair.
The album was reissued July 1, 2008 with 3 bonus remixes.
