Deltron 3030 by Deltron 3030 (2000)

Dan the Automator (as the Cantankerous Captain Aptos), Del the Funky Homosapien (as Deltron Zero/Deltron Osiris), and DJ Kid Koala (as Skiznod the Boy Wonder) form hip hop supergroup Deltron 3030.

Along with help from a variety of others (Damon Albarn features on multiple tracks, mere months before the world got their first taste of Gorillaz) the group takes us on a journey of an opera, set of course in the year 3030. The album's lead is 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. Need I say more?
