Arrested Development Returns
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If tomorrow feels like several years ago, in music, here’s a few reasons why: Britney Spears is putting out a new record. The Backstreet Boys are back (alright?!) And here’s a flashback for you - Atlanta-based rap group Arrested Development are releasing their first CD of orignal recordings in 13 years.
“Since the Last Time” actually came out as an import in September of last year, but either way, it’s been a while since hip-hop heard from AD in its current incarnation: Speech, Eshe, Rasa Don, Babo Oje and new members One Love, Nicha, JJ Boogie and Za.
Are you looking forward to what the local Grammy winners have to say now? Do you think there is a place, better yet a need, for a group known for its smarts and political savviness? Or do you think crunk, “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” and other more current offshoots from the Atlanta music scene have made AD irrelevant?

I think AD is and can still be relevant, even amidst whats going on in Atlanta nowadays. They just have to make sure that their priority is making dope music and cater to the folks that they know will support them, and go from there. If they make the mistake of trying to beat these youngsters over the head and denounce everything that isn’t them, then they will endup failing.
