Group Home, a hip-hop duo emerging from the vibrant 90s New York rap scene, made substantial waves in the industry with its gritty narratives and soulful beats. Comprised of members Lil' Dap and Melachi the Nutcracker, the group carved a niche for itself within the hardcore segment of hip-hop, thanks in large part to their association with the legendary Guru of Gang Starr. Their 1995 debut album, "Livin' Proof," stood as a testament to their raw talent and knack for storytelling, produced largely by DJ Premier, whose intricate beats provided a perfect backdrop for the duo's vivid lyrical imagery.

Despite not achieving the mainstream success that some of their peers enjoyed, Group Home solidified their status within the hip-hop community, respected for their authentic representation of street life and unwavering commitment to the craft. Over the years, they continued to release music that spoke to their roots and experiences, with albums like "A Tear For The Ghetto" and "Forever" showcasing their evolution while remaining true to the essence of early-90s hip-hop. Their work, including tracks like "Supa Star" and "Livin' Proof," remains influential, appreciated by purists and new fans alike for its unapologetic honesty and the duo's contribution to the golden era of hip-hop.
