True Hip-hop trailblazers since 1991, Arrested Development has been cultural champions of consciousness and empowerment across the planet. Their representation of eclectic and vibrant African sounds and clothing has produced a unique clash of rhythms and style that continue to contrast the expected look and sound of Hip-hop culture. Arrested Development have been supporters of important groups and movements like the National Coalition of The Homeless, and the African National Congress (ANC). With numerous album releases, and world tours, Arrested Development has been ground-breaking in Hip-hop culture. Their album, 3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life of…, earned them two Grammy awards for Best New Artist and Best Rap Single (“Tennessee”), 2 MTV awards, a Soul Train Music Award, and the NAACP Image Award. Rolling Stone magazine named them Band of The Year in 1992, while VH-1 named them one of the greatest Hip-hop artists of all time! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame even named the AD smash “Tennessee” one of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll. Sharing the stage with such important figures such as Nelson Mandela, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Hilary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, AD are the categorical definition of legends. The band continues their forward march of curating incredible music that is about self reflection and revolution. Their 2024 double album, Bullets in the Chamber, was no exception. Featuring legendary artists like: Chuck D, Sky Zoo, Canibus, Diana King, Ras Kass, O’hene Savant, Twan Mack, MRK SX, Do it All Dupree, Grandmaster Caz, Sol Messiah & Sa-Roc. With special features by: Montsho Eshe & Rasa Don. But now, all that matters for the group is their newest project, “Adult Contemporary Hip-Hop” Executively produced by Speech for Vagabond Productions and Configa for Configaration Records. The singles, “All I See Is Melanin” & “Pack It Out” bring incomparable lyricism, soulful storytelling and cognizant awareness delivered in a fashion only Arrested Development can carry through!
