"Gifted Life" is the first single from Australian hip hop group Downsyde's second album Land of the Giants. It was released on September 23, 2002[1] on the independent label, Hydrofunk (established by Resin Dogs) and distributed nationally by Virgin.
The song basically revolves around the concept that some people have a blessed (or gifted) life, while others are not so fortunate. 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[2], which was eventually won by Infusion's "Dead Souls". The song featured on the 2003 DMA compilation album[3], it received airplay around on Triple J,[4] RTRFM, 3RRR, 4ZZZ[5] and PBS.
