Arrested Development is an group, founded by and as a positive, alternative to the gangsta rap popular in the early 1990s. It took the group three years, five months and two days to be offered a record deal. Hence the name of the first album was 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of, which produced several hit tracks. These included 'Tennessee', 'People Everyday', and 'Mr.
Wendal', which hit the top ten. The group won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and Best New Artist, and were also Band of the Year.
