Arrested Development & Big Daddy Kane Deliver An Epic "Vibe" (Video)

 

Big Daddy Kane, amid the most monumental VERZUZ to date, teamed up with Arrested Development for an epic "Vibe." The single/video featuring Tasha LaRae, Cleveland P. Jones, and DJ Nodef with production by Configa, is taken from the group's forthcoming 16-track album 'For The FKN Love.'

Skillfully crafted blends of instruments driven by potent horns and reminiscent DJ cuts/scratches set the stage for an unforgettable and infectious vibe. Both Speech and Kane deliver liberating wordplay attesting to a unique vibe that we as humans all have rocking inside of us. Their declaration is amplified by soulful vocals from Tasha LaRae and Cleveland P. Jones. 

"Vibe" is given to fans in true AD fashion, intoxicating enough to rattle the core, yet mind rousing enough to get us on our feet, vibing, and elevating to another dimension of empowerment. Don't miss out on this epic "Vibe" and stay tuned for the release of Arrested Development's new album 'For The FKN Love' executively produced by veteran frontman Speech and British boom bap extraordinaire Configa.

Hip Hop Icon SPEECH Reacts To Capitol Insurrection In "A Different World" (Single)

 

 

“This song had to be made to become proactive in shaping our collective future, because the rebellion that happened on January 6, 2021, in Washington D.C. was the curtain being pulled back on race, lies, and darkness in America,” Speech explains. “It’s obvious that about half of America is living in a fictitious bubble and are responding accordingly. That’s why I wanted to share facts about the lawlessness and hypocrisy that was occurring. We may be at the start of another Civil war and a lot of bloodshed.” -SPEECH

Atlanta, GA…Like millions of other Americans, Grammy Award-winning artist Speech of the legendary Afro-centric Hip Hop group Arrested Development watched in horror as a swath of die-hard Trump loyalists stormed the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C. As the dedicated MC he is, Speech put the pen to paper and spit out the single “A Different World,” an anthemic call-to-action that both preserve his artistic integrity and passion for socio-political issues.

“On the night of the terrorist attack that already killed five people, I did a YouTube post, I posted various things on social media, but none of it seemed adequate, especially from a music documentation perspective,” he said of the song’s evolution. “So, I went into the studio, pulled out my Beat Thang, sampler, etc. The jazz/boom bap energy for this song was intentional, meant to be a throwback energy from the ‘90s-type approach. In my opinion, those sensibilities lend themselves to reflection, grooves, and hope, while still showing the urgency of this moment. I also purposely rhymed with a higher pitch, cuz I wanted my emotions of helplessness, rage but also engagement to come through.” -SPEECH

“A Different World” follows Expansion Pt. 1, Speech’s first solo EP in 14 years, and will appear on his upcoming full-length album Expansion. As he flirts within the song’s breakdown, “This is a time for good-hearted people of all races that love Hip Hop to show the world a path to peace and truth! Plot, Plan, Strategize, Organize and Mobilize. Please spread the vibes. We aren’t helpless, we can make a different world.”
