Arrested Development is an American alternative hip hop group founded by Speech and Headliner as a positive, Afrocentric alternative to the gangsta rap popular in the early 1990s.
The group won two Grammy Awards in 1993 for Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, and were also named Band of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine. 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of... was the number-one album in the Village Voice's 1992 Pazz and Jop Critic's Poll.[1]
A few months later the group was approached by film director Spike Lee to compose a song for his upcoming biopic based on the life of Malcolm X. The group then recorded "Revolution," which appeared on the oldies-dominated soundtrack for the film, as well as the second half of its closing credits when the film was released in 1992. The song gained popularity for its association with the film and the subject matter was considered more edgy compared to Arrested Development's other material at the time.
Their 1994 follow-up Zingalamaduni, which did very well with some critics but was panned by others, sold poorly. After the group broke up due to "creative differences" in 1996, Speech released a solo album; sales were poor in the United States but better in Japan. The group reunited in 2000 (without Headliner & Earle Taree) and has been touring and releasing records via Speech's Vagabond Productions and Speech Music. While Arrested Development has struggled to regain a following in the United States, they have met consistent success in Japan.
The group released their ninth album STRONG under Vagabond Records and Tapes and licensed to the Japanese record label Cutting Edge December 9, 2009 and had a top ten hit with the single The World Is Changing in Japan. In an interview with Songfacts, Speech explained that the track "Greener" takes on the issue of climate change from the perspective of the African American community.
A.D. respects women, promotes family, spirituality and male responsibility. Their music addresses consciousness, the earth, African self-determination and love. They call their live shows celebrations and you won’t want to miss their show, which is among the best in the industry. They were the first African - American artists to donate money to Nelson Mandela and the ANC to help South Africans; they also donated $20,000 to UNICEF for relief in the Congo, they've done charity for Homeless organizations, inner city youth organizations, women's prisons, anti – human trafficking groups, schools, and universities across the globe
Arrested Development is about significant music built on history and tradition, but pointing the way toward the future.
