(1997)No Need for Alarm is the second album by hip hop artist Del the Funky Homosapien. It was released on November 23, 1993 on Elektra Records. It was a complete departure from his G-Funk influenced first album and without the assistance of his older cousin, Ice Cube. Primarily produced by Del and the rest of his hip hop collective Hieroglyphics. No Need For Alarm would be one of three classic Hiero Golden Age albums the collective would release to critical acclaim (including Souls of Mischief's 93 'til Infinity and Casual's Fear Itself).
