The Profile

Arrested Development are an American alternative hip hop group from Georgia, formed in 1988 by Speech and Headliner. Known for socially conscious themes and vibrant, rootsy production, they broke through with 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life of... and hits like Tennessee, People Everyday, and Mr. Wendal. After a 1996 split, they re-formed in 2000 and continued releasing albums, including Since the Last Time.

Formed in 1988 in the Atlanta area by Speech and Headliner; American alternative hip hop group; disbanded in 1996 and re-formed in 2000; won two Grammy Awards in 1993 including Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “Tennessee”.

Two reviews chart Arrested Development’s sunny, socially conscious hip hop: a warm, idea-packed return on Since the Last Time and a nostalgic, ecstatic salute to Zingalamaduni. The writing praises their non-gangsta ethos, rich arrangements, and enduring hits like Tennessee, People Everyday, and Mr. Wendal. Overall tone: affectionate and upbeat.

Notable Quotes

❝ I immediately adored the simple magic of tracks like “Mr. Wendal”, perhaps their most well-known hit, “Tennessee,” “People Everyday.”
❝ Listening to it again, the modernity enclosed in this gem from the nineties impresses me, how advanced were these ARRESTED DEVELOPMENTS as we called them???
