Living Proof is an album by the incarcerated rap collective Lifers Group, released in 1993.[2][3] The collective was made up of inmates serving sentences of 25 years to double-life.[4][5] The album followed the collective's 1991 debut EP and their Grammy-nominated long-form video.[6] Royalties from the album were put toward the Lifers Group Juvenile Awareness Program.[7]
The album was recorded inside East Jersey State Prison, in Rahway, New Jersey. A temporary studio was built in the prison, and the collective had a week to record.[8] Living Proof was produced by Solid Productions, with, on some tracks, Organized Konfusion.[9] The members of the collective were credited by their nicknames and their prison serial numbers.[10] They wrote all of the lyrics and assisted with some of the musical backing.[11] A video was filmed at the prison for the first single, "Short Life of a Gangsta".[12]
