Arrested Development Essentials

Arrested Development Essentials

In the early ‘90s, Arrested Development upturned hip-hop with a sound that was tuneful, positive and full of irresistible samples and bars. “People Everyday” grabs its hook from Sly & The Family Stone and MC Speech does it justice with lyrics that take down sexism and toxic masculinity. The De La Soul-esque “Mr. Wendal” likewise samples Sly, with Speech complementing the light beat with an empathetic story about a homeless friend. Also included here are tracks from Dionne Farris, who lent her strong yet melancholic voice to Arrested Development’s upbeat hit “Tennessee” before going solo with bluesy pop-rock cuts like “I Know”.
