Features Del tha Funkee Homosapien, one of hip-hop’s most interesting musical innovators, who has pulled his posse, the Hieroglyphics, out of relative obscurity with a strong electronica-influenced MC style.

On the road to Tikrit, they fingered Iraqi vehicles fleeing the capital for destruction by M1 tanks. And inside the capital, the elite Delta Force slipped into Baghdad's back alleys and into its sewers to eavesdrop on communications, cut fiber-optic cables, target regime leaders and build networks of informants...
