Homicide
Welcome to the Homicide, and Homicide Records website. The group Homicide originated in Desert Hot Springs California, or "The D Dirty" as we like to call it. We take pride in our music because not only do we present you with lyrical masterpieces equiped with punchlines metaphors and other such word play, but we also explore the more poetic side of rap music. Homicide consists of 4 major members Richard Cromwell AKA Nemesis (lyricist) Antoine Bush AKA R.Reason (lyricist) Blaine Johnson (lyricist) and Gerald Cromwell AKA GTC (beat maker). We've all known each other many years and with the exception of Antoine who is originally from L.A. have spent most of our lives in the D (DHS). Enjoy the site as well as our music. Thank you.
