"Homies" is a song written by Insane Clown Posse, Mike Puwal and Twiztid for ICP's 2002 album The Wraith: Shangri-La. After the 1992 single "Psychopathic", "Homies" is the second single released by the group to not be produced by Mike E. Clark, who had stopped working with Psychopathic Records due to a disagreement with ICP's Joseph Bruce and Joseph Utsler. Clark later produced a remix of the song, which appeared on Forgotten Freshness Volume 4, after Clark reconciled with ICP.[1]

A single was released later in the year and a music video for the song was produced, featuring appearances by the entire Psychopathic Records roster at the time, which included Anybody Killa, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Esham and Zug Izland. The song's lyrics focus on the positive aspects of friendship, and is more upbeat and cheerful than ICP is generally known for. Unlike most ICP work, the song was well-received by critics. It is listed on streaming services as "Juggalo Homies" to distinguish it from a newer ICP song also called "Homies".
