This talented family came together as one group in 1995. Prior to this collaboration they were known in their hometown, Moreno Valley as the most fierce group of MCs ever to form together in the whole Inland Empire. They would go from city to city battling other crews and performing shows throughout Southern California. The family then came up with the name Homeless Nation. The name Homeless Nation describes the trials and tribulations the groups has endured, while trying to break into the music industry. In the past labels did not want to take a chance signing Homeless Nation because they did not fall into the so called West Coast Gangster Rap category, nor did they fall into the East Coast Don Mafioso style of Hip Hop, and furthermore, labels felt that Homeless Nation wasnt abstract enough to be categorized and promoted as being underground. So the family decided on the name Homeless Nation because they felt that they couldnt find a home for their talents.
When listening to Homeless Nation, you can here the sounds of the artist that inspire them. Such as the jazzy feel of music like A Tribe Called Quest, the heartfelt lyrics of Tupac, the meshing combination of styles of each individual artist like Wu-Tang Clan, and the subliminal messages delivered in the lyrics like Outkast and the Goodie Mob. Put it all together and you come up with the original sounds of Homeless Nation.
In closing, the West Coast next generation of Hip Hop is Homeless Nation. Their ambitious drive to succeed, radio friendly music and business sense will make them very successful. Once they hit the scene the consumer demand for their unique sound will prolong the longevity of the group. Homeless Nation is definitely every labels dream.
