#ARRESTEDDEVELOPMENT @townofspectre ・・・ I have listened to this album more than any other in my life. I originally bought it on cassette as a seventh grader in 1992 and, unlike anything else from that period, it and the band's following records have been on constant rotation through all phases of my musical taste over the last twenty-six years. @arresteddevelopment__ has always been on my top ten list as other artists came and went. So, getting the record signed by @speech__ , the man behind the music, was quite special. The occasion was last night’s screening of 16 Bars- a beautifully shot and thought provoking film centered around his time working on music with inmates in a special program called REAL in Richmond, VA. The film’s color and pacing reflect the humanity that we often forget to attribute to those imprisoned. If you get a chance to see it, do so. The intersection of music and justice is a unique spot to start from in order to reflect on the issues of imprisonment and trauma as well as the challenges that face prisoners upon release- and the goodness of people who aim to make it better. The film reinforces so much about what I've respected about Speech and his music over the years. Check out reallifeprogram.org #16barsthefilm

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.
