    There isn’t a sound, a style, or marque that can match the caliber of the iconic, legendary Hip Hop group Arrested Development, so it only makes sense that devoted fans across the globe are in craze listening to the new album ‘For The FKN Love.’ This is the first album the group collaborated with equally scaled artists making this their best release to date. The star-studded cast includes Big Daddy Kane, Masta Ace, Monie Love, Fatman Scoop, Freddie Foxxx, The Sugar Hill Gang, KXNG Crooked, G. Love, Tony Momrelle, and that’s only naming a few!

    The album even features Weekly Rap God’s very own Tap Da Mic cohost Twan Mack and other vetted artists such as Dell-P, Lish, Ke’andra, 4ize, Twisted Royalty, Cleveland P. Jones, MRK SX & Janah. The 17-track album is executively produced by front-man Speech and British boom-bap wiz Configa.

lyrics

the muscle mass has been formed on me And Now I'm just flexing
I’m bout to act light skinned just in case you was guessing
I'm kidding - but colorism's a mental prison
And too many rap fans are caught up in the system

I know facts about things I'd rather not say
There's still value in what we've shared I wanna keep it safe
You spending energy trying to spin the imagery
But on our death beds will we see all this differently?

I cannot recollect your flaws, your every wrong
turn,
win lose or draw picking straws its all history like Auburn Avenues
We’ve all journed
people burned for practically nothing
We live and we learn

I swear to you a week before our release I was wishing
death upon me
Like life was a joke - all Knopes - I lived in Pawnee
A week later I felt much greater what a wonderful thing
A record number of streams - yeah

I don’t know what’s happening next
The worst is gone the best is yet to come
I know I was depressed just a week ago
Now I am up yeah I am up
Ooh
I am so awake now
I don’t mess around
I wanna go downtown walk around and
Do it up

Don’t just say do
Don’t just pray move
No dismay on display its ok choose
Sunny without the blues
Money without abuse
Your Zone of genius
Is never meaningless
Don’t diffuse

You the mental enslavement that you’ve been losing to

Satanic demons secret agents, they keep on invading
Your reach on engagements
Your speech and your patience
Endanger relations with
Nations
And making you feel that your forsaken mistaken
satan is the author of lies
RISE awaken!

Let these illusions loose
Who am I talking to?
I’m talking to me mainly
But if I’m helping you then COOL!
I thought I was gonna drown but things are finally turning around
Things are falling in place for me as if the floor gave out
But I’m standing I feel like 93 when we won Grammys
I can’t believe I am me

I don’t know what’s happening next
The worst is gone the best is yet to come
I know I was depressed just a week ago
Now I am up yeah I am up
Ooh
I am so awake now
I don’t mess around
I wanna go downtown walk around and
Do it up
