What are the attributes that define the expert-level freestyle emcee? Confidence, flair, and a head full of rhymes are of course characteristics possessed by all the great rappers; whether they stake their claim to fame rocking rhymes off the top of their heads or straight from the loose-leaf pages. What separates the active freestyler from their ink and pulp bound counterparts is fluid adaptability. Throughout his career, Del has adapted to drastic shifts in production styles, label situations, and financial status. He's kept on rapping no matter his position, be it major label artist, record store employee, or Indie entrepreneur. His uncanny knack for keeping fresh rhymes flowing has forged him a lyrical identity that endures from the studio to the stage to the street corner. Fans appreciate him because no matter the beat, opponent, or venue, his quick wit and lithe tongue allow him to more than hold his own.
