About: Today, Arrested Development presents visuals for their most recent single "Becoming". The song and video is dedicated to Anthony - a prisoner featured in his “16 Bars” documentary (filmed in a Richmond, Virginia penitentiary), whose back story Speech utilises lyrically. It details a turbulent upbringing, littered with domestic abuse, the moulding of an embittered street teen sentenced to prison and a resulting epiphany - resulting in the character wanting to be a positive Male role model to his young Daughter. “But I know I have a gift and a heavenly mission/ So I’m gonna get a new life by living life totally different” "Becoming" is the most recent single off of Arrested Development's new album "Don't Fight Your Demons", which was released September 25th. The 2x Grammy Award Winning, groundbreaking iconic music group, and Hip Hop pioneers continue their forward march of curating conscious, revolutionary music formulated to bring societal issues to the forefront and ignite change. Their new album is no exception. The 16-track album features a selection of eclectic musicians including Kuf Knotz, Skyy High, Christine Elise, O’hene Savant, Rambo, Let The Dirt Say Amen, Fro Magnum Man, MRK SX, and is executively produced by Speech for Vagabond Productions and Configa for Configa Records. The group assures fans and listeners this is no hit or miss album. Each track is distinct in style, flow, and vibe, with influential wordplay and infectious soundscapes. They break down and take apart worldly injustices, the current state of racism, grueling masks of politics, and on the flip side offer empowering gems on how to overcome and rise through. The production throughout the entire album channels a continuous kaleidoscope of invigorating bass, soul, funk, worldly tones, and even innovative cadences ear-pleasing to a younger generation of music connoisseurs. ‘Don’t Fight Your Demons’ ideally serves as a “how-to” handbook brimming with incomparable lyricism, storytelling, and cognizant awareness delivered in a fashion only Arrested Development can carry through.
