Telicatessen is the debut solo album by American hip hop artist and former Sonic Sum member Rob Sonic, released by the Definitive Jux label on September 7, 2004.
The album's title is a portmanteau word combining the terms "television" and "delicatessen".
[9] All production, lyrics and vocals were by Rob Sonic, with the exception of the verses on "Sniper Picnic" by fellow New York MC Creature and Alaska and Windnbreeze from Definitive Jux labelmates Hangar 18 and backing vocals by M. Sayyid of the group Antipop Consortium.
[7] His lyrics were widely regarded as highly abstract, which critics found to be both a strength ("two-second moments of total clarity bunched together and pouring out") and a weakness ("an endless stream of fleeting ideas").
[4][7] The track "Sniper Picnic" was featured on the soundtrack of Activision game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.
