Arrested Development Biography
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
Development's 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 Sly's 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 Stone's 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 Speech's 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. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
