thegoodnews. is an American hip hop band, presented primarily in cartoon form. Founded by hip hop luminary Del The Funky Homosapien, producer CTZN, rapper Po3 and illustrator Pete Cosmos, the group first found its footing in the mid-2010s after linking up during Deltron 3030s Event 2 tour; eventually finding their sound working alongside bass & fx guru Juan Alderete (Mars Volta, Dr Octagon, Jonwayne, Mac Miller, Anderson .Paak, Domo Genesis, etc) as well as guitar and pedal wizard Taka Tozawa (Deltron 3030, Got A Girl, Earthquaker Devices) – both members of Deltron 3030s touring band. Pete Cosmos illustrations and design work would give the group a distinct visual style and a unique cartoon feel, inviting listeners and viewers into a lush new odd-ball universe.
