Almost three years before Andre 3000 declared 'the South has something to say,' Atlanta's Arrested Development released an afro - centric album. It boldly conveyed messages of love, harmony, and positivity. When gangsta rap dominated the urban music scene, '3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days In The Life Of…' offered a fresh and lively alternative. Twenty - five years on, this album, named after the time it took the band to land a record deal, still shines as a hip - hop classic. Its amazing blend of gospel, blues, funk, jazz, and rap has truly withstood the test of time. Must - listen tracks include 'Tennessee,' 'Mr Wendal,' 'People Everyday,' 'Mama's Always On Stage,' 'Give a Man a Fish,' and 'Natural.' Music label: Capitol 1992 / 2017.
