Kate FM’s Album of the Week (April 14): “3 Years, 5 Months, and 2 Days in the Life of…” by Arrested Development

aotw-8

Release Date: March 24th, 1992

Number of Songs: 15

Album Notes: This was the first album release of Arrested Development, and its chart success was the beginning of the popularization of Southern hip hop. The album stood in stark contrast to the gangsta rap that ruled the hip hop charts in 1992 (such as Dr. Dre’s The Chronic), in its focus on spirituality, peace and love. The album’s title refers to the length of time it took Arrested Development to get a record contract. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the album’s release.
