Gifted Life

"Gifted Life" is the first single from Australian hip hop group Downsyde's second album Land of the Giants. It was released on 23 September 2002 on the independent label, Hydrofunk (established by Resin Dogs) and distributed nationally by Virgin.

Three other songs are also included on the retail single: "Reap What We Sow", "Dee Dah Dah" (an interlude type track), and "Raiders of the Lost Art", all from the group's debut album Epinonimous and all produced or co-produced by Dazastah.

"Gifted Life" was nominated as 'Best Single' at the 2003 Australian Dance Music Awards, which was eventually won by Infusion's "Dead Souls". The song featured on the 2003 DMA compilation album, it received airplay around on Triple J, RTRFM, 3RRR, 4ZZZ and PBS.
