Arrested Development
By All Music Guide
One of the major success stories of 1992, Arrested Development was a progressive rap collective fusing soul, blues, hip-hop, and Sly and the Family Stone-influenced funk with political, socially conscious lyrics. The group was founded in the late 80s by rapper Speech and DJ Headliner, who decided to make the transition to a more positive, Afrocentric viewpoint after hearing Public Enemy. Arrested Developments debut album took its title from the amount of time it took the group to secure a record contract; Three Years, Five Months and Two Days in the Life of... produced the hit single Tennessee, a strongly spiritual track that hit the Top Ten and sparked the album to sell over four million copies. Its two follow-ups, People Everyday (a rewrite of Slys Everyday People) and Mr. Wendal did likewise. Accolades poured in; Arrested Development won Grammys for Best Rap Album and Best New Artist, and were named Rolling Stones Band of the Year. The group returned one year later with Zingalamaduni, which some reviews hailed as a major work, though overall response was more ambivalent. In 1996, contrary to Speechs earlier assertion that the group would be around for ten or twelve years, Arrested Development officially broke up. Speech went solo, though his debut album failed to make an impact.
