Future Development is the third solo studio album by American hip hop musician Del the Funky Homosapien. It was released by Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings in 1997. It was able to achieve decent success, selling over 400,000 copies worldwide.
Stanton Swihart of AllMusic said that "the album is less coherent than his previous two albums and less immediate-sounding without being immaterial." [1] In a 2000 article, Charles Aaron of Spin called it "perhaps Del's finest [album]". [3]
