Livin' Proof is the debut album by Group Home, the Gang Starr-affiliated duo composed of rappers Lil Dap and Melachi the Nutcracker. The album featured the popular underground single "Supa Star" and the instrumental work of producer DJ Premier. The album is known both for these instrumentals and the interplay between the lyrics of Group Home's two members.[3][4] DJ Premier produced all of the album's songs except "Serious Rap Shit" and "4 Give My Sins," which were produced by Guru of Gang Starr and Big Jaz, respectively.


"Supa Star" also appeared in the soundtrack of the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV and is prominently featured in the movie Boiler Room.
