Group Home’s debut album Livin’ Proof from 1995 is an another excellent example of how DJ Premier justly saves his best beats for more skilled rappers than Guru. The album is lined with the heavy, dark but still playful beats that characterizes much of the golden age New York hiphop. Melachi The Nut Cracker and Lil’ Dap of Group Home brilliantly complement the beats with great verses about their tough life. Pretty much every word said by Melachi could be scratched into the chorus of any rap song and sound heavy. The same could probably be said about Lil’ Dap who, on the other hand, delivers his flow with a rather unusual voice that he manages to make sound quite tough.
