#ARRESTEDDEVELOPMENT @pachamamagroup_ ・・・ A new chapter of our journey is about to start... We're on such a beautiful point right now it's so enjoyable, we're more than grateful for all these precious connections we've made over the past months, for every moment we shared together in harmony, bliss or progress. I feel like this journey is taking us to many other great places and it's all about embracing the change and the moment. Moments like this one at Tanglewood Festival stay forever they become part of us. Cheers to Tanglewood for this special vibe, we had probably the best time surrounded by so many lovely beings and the greatest Boogie steering our future! Girls I love you 📸 @awtransform . . . . #blessed #beautifulpeople #brightlife #boogie #festivalvibes #sunshine #paradise #gratefulforthegrizzles #loveyouguysoutthere #positivity #unconditionallove

#ARRESTEDDEVELOPMENT We couldn't have ended 2018 in a better way than seeing this book, courtesy of @jjboogie which says our music is a must hear before you die! 😂 (although it describes us as "alternative hiphop" which we aren't) - the rest nails it pretty well...And doing a Japanese tour (a grueling TWO SHOWS PER NIGHT) plus around an hour of autograph signings and more posing for pictures than any human being should do. 😇 All to end out the year! This year was really emotional, claiming the lives of our esteemed elder @Babaoje_ our esteemed drummer @Omarphillipsdrums and one of our publicists ElizabethMcCleary @lizzy_prmanagement I know that with each death bring us more life, so 2019, here we come! #hiphop #Japan @billboardlive_tokyo @billboardlive_osaka

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.
