    Andrew Bees Life In The Ghetto

    New Name
      • Andrew Bees – Life In The Ghetto
      • 1. Life In The Ghetto
      • 2. Version

      Straight from Maxfield Avenue, 1989, Castro Brown's New Name Muzik outfit produced some of the best of the first wave of digital roots. Here are a couple of their finest outings. Andrew Bees has two of his finest tunes in "Struggle & Strive" and "Life in the Ghetto", both re-released here for the first time ever. These stand right beside his classic "Militant" on Music Lion as early classics of the emerging style.
