#ARRESTEDDEVELOPMENT #CRAFTANDOPTICS I think you need to catch up with the brilliance, no joking. It's the newest joint. However, don't listen unless you're open minded. Every song is dense and musical. @petespray On the first and last remixes. Sooo smooth! So many nice & ridiculous cuts on this! ❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽 #betterdays goes in LIVE! 🙌🏽 This whole album is crazy for real! #ADtheBand.com
#ARRESTEDDEVELOPMENT #ThisWasNeverHome This also is such an amazing record with more soul or R&B sounding tracks, which was purposeful and a refreshing departure from@anything else we've done. Every song is dense. @khaomusic & @dauntatyler rapped/sang on and produced on a good number of these songs and I really recommend it. LISTEN TO THE LYRICS FOR REAL! ❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽 #trapmusic This whole album is crazy tho. ADtheBand.com
#ARRESTEDDEVELOPMENT I dare you to play this amazing record while you're cleaning or doing chores.

Arrested Development

 

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 NCAAP 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.
