Arrested Development

True hip-hop trailblazers since the early 90s – Rolling Stone named them Band of The Year in 1992 – Arrested Development are cultural champions of consciousness and empowerment across the planet. They offer a different take from the stereotypes of the genre, eschewing drugs and violence and embracing spirituality, Afrocentricity, and community uplift. They’ve gone the distance whatever the vagaries of fashion and despite the cost: in the words of recent cut Hip Hop Saves Lives, “Our songs ain’t dark/And our checks ain’t handsome”. Greenbelt is more than ready to welcome Arrested Development’s incomparable lyricism and soulful storytelling.
