Arrested Development not to be confused with the tv series of the same name) is an American hip-hop group founded by Todd Thomas (a.k.a. Speech) and Timothy Barnwell (a.k.a. DJ Headliner) as a positive Afrocentric alternative to gangsta rap popular in the late 1980s. The group was more a collective with Baba Oje as a spirtual elder, Montsho Eshe as a chereographer, Rasa Don on drums and Aerle Taree as a vocalist/stylist. They had a couple of big international hits with "People Everyday" and "Mr Wendal".

After disappointing sales of the second studio album, "Zinglamaduni", the group broke up in 1996. However, the group reunited in 2000 but Aerle and Headliner did not return. They continue to tour, perform and produce to this day.
