For the 30th anniversary of the 2x Grammy Award winning group, Arrested Development’s, pioneering debut album, 3 YEARS, 5 MONTHS AND 2 DAYS IN THE LIFE OF…, Speech joins us for a detailed look at how the record was made. After getting his start in a high school hip hop group in Milwaukee called Attack, Speech left for more opportunities in Atlanta. He connected with Headliner at The Art Institute of Atlanta and the two of them formed Arrested Development, gradually adding group members, Aerle Taree, Montsho Eshe, Rasa Don and Baba Oje, along the way. Eventually, Arrested Development signed a deal with Chrysalis Records, which took exactly 3 years, 5 months and 2 days, giving their debut album its title. In this episode, Speech describes how we became conscious and wanted to form a hip hop group that was an alternative to the gangsta rap that was popular at the time. From being one of the first hip hop groups out of Atlanta to developing a melodic rhyming style to 4-track bedroom recording to the expensive art of sampling to Dionne Farris’s incredible guest vocals, we’ll hear the stories of how the album came together.
