Biography
Arrested Development is an American hip-hop group formed in 1988 in Atlanta by rapper and producer Speech and turntablist Headliner. The group offered an Afrocentric, socially conscious alternative to the rise of gangsta rap, and gained critical and commercial success with its 1992 debut album, 3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life Of.... The album topped the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll and reportedly sold over 6 million copies globally. In 1993, Arrested Development became the first hip-hop act to win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, also receiving the award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. After the commercial disappointment of their 1994 follow-up, Zingalamaduni, the group disbanded in 1996. They reunited in 2000 and have continued to tour and release music independently through Speech's label, addressing themes of racial justice, spirituality, and environmental issues.
