Deltron 3030. from the wikipedia page: It is a rap opera concept album set in a dystopian year 3030. The album's story casts Del in the role of Deltron Zero, a disillusioned mech soldier and interplanetary computer prodigy rebelling against a 31st-century New World Order. In a world where evil oligarchs suppress both human rights and hip-hop, Del fights rap battles against a series of foes, becoming Galactic Rhyme Federation Champion.

Dan the automator really is the goat of hip hop concept albums Dr octagon, handsome boy modeling school, deltron 3030 and gorillaz are probably all in the top ten hip-hop concept albums. I've always said I wish him and MF DOOM(one of the other goats of hip hop concept albums(madvillany, mm..food, mouse and the mask I could go on forever his whole identity is a concept like the Gorillaz honestly) made a concept album together, their styles fit perfectly together imo and they fucked with a lot of the same people like prince Paul(another goat(handsome boy, gravediggaz, prince among thieves)) and Kool Keith(again...goat Dr octagon, Dr dooom). I also always wanted a deltron Dr octagon Collab since Dr octagon could time travel lol but fucking Dr dooom had to go and kill him. Another hip hop concept album goat is masta ace whose got a bunch of dope ones but my favorite hip hop concept album might be the roots undun but I'm pretty biased because I'm from Philly and Stan black thought and questlove
