Livin' Proof is the debut album from
Gang Starr affiliates
Group Home. The album featured the hit underground single "Supa Star" and the production work of
DJ Premier. The album is known both for the supposed sub-par rhyming and superior instrumental work. It is widely considered to be Premier's most focused work to date but is often overshadowed by his work with more proficient emcees. Premier produced all the album's songs apart from "Serious Rap Shit" and "4 Give My Sins," which were produced by
Guru and
Big Jaz, respectively.
