Group Home is a hip hop duo, composed of members Lil' Dap (birth name James Heath; b. March 6, 1972) and Melachi the Nutcracker (birth name Jamal Felder; b. October 5, 1977).[1] They came to prominence as members of the Gang Starr Foundation. Lil' Dap made his rhyming debut on Gang Starr's 1992 classic Daily Operation on the song "I'm the Man".[1] Both members appeared on Gang Starr's critically acclaimed 1994 effort Hard to Earn, on the tracks "Speak Ya Clout" and "Words from the Nutcracker".[1] In 1995, the group released its debut album, Livin' Proof.[1] The album was very well received, mainly due to DJ Premier's advanced production work, described by Allmusic as "rhythmic masterpieces".[1][2] A second album A Tear for the Ghetto was released in 1999, this time with only one track produced by DJ Premier.[1]
Since then, little has been heard of the group. Lil' Dap released a solo single, "Brooklyn Zone", in 2001, and guested on several other releases.[1] As of 2007[update], Lil' Dap is an independent artist. He released in 2008 a solo album called I.A.Dap.
Currently, the duo occasionally performs and goes on tour with other artists, such as Cypress Hill. Melachi currently suffers from emotional turmoil from prior drug abuse.
