HEADLINE THE NEW BET+ SERIES “KINGDOM BUSINESS”
AVAILABLE MAY 19TH ON BET+

Michael Beach, Michael Jai White & Chaundre A. Hall-Broomfield Star As Series Regulars ​

ABOUT "KINGDOM BUSINESS": 
Denita Jordan is the Queen of Gospel Music at First Kingdom Church and Kingdom Records in Atlanta. A superstar whose music has been heard around the world, she is determined to guard her family and its many secrets at all costs. Her husband Calvin Jordan may be the Bishop at First Kingdom, but Denita is the true leader, and she has little tolerance for insurrection among her family and employees (and ex-employees). Suddenly, there is a new powerhouse performer on the Atlanta gospel scene -- a young pole dancer, Rbel, whose talent and pedigree may bring her closer to God and gold than she ever imagined.

"KINGDOM BUSINESS" also touts a stellar lineup of talented recurring guests stars, including Tamar Braxton as “Sasha”, La’Miya Good as “Essence,” Aspen Kennedy as “Zyan,” Kiandra Richardson as “C.J. Jordan-Walker,” Kajuana Shuford Marie as “Dani” and Sam Malone as “Dex.”

Arrested Development - 'For The FKN Love'

12/10/2021

Comments

 
It's time for another When We Speak TV update.....and this time it's about our friend Speech Thomas of the Grammy winning hip hop group, Arrested Development!  If you don't know, Speech is a previous When We Speak guest.  We also spoke with Speech and Arrested Development at Black Music Honors a few years back.
But back to the reason for the post.... Arrested Development has released a new album called, For The FKN Love, which is definitely bringing a positive balance to hip hop.  
We are super excited because the album also features other great artists like Dee-1, Tony Momrelle, and Tasha Larae, that we have had the pleasure of speaking with in the past. 
It's always a great joy to see such great and positive people collaborating together!!!
Other artists joining Arrested Development on For The FKN Love, includes Big Daddy Kane, Configa, Monie Love, Fatman Scoop, Masta Ace, MRK SX, Freddie Foxxx, Cleveland P Jones, and more.
