• Dennis Creary – Ghetto Life
    • Dennis Creary – Version
    • 1. Ghetto Life
    • 2. Version

    Tearaway sufferers anthem, roaring out of the blocks in 1989.

    Piercing, unforgettable song-writing by the Tetrack spar — jam-packed with anecdote, observation and warning — over a sick, breakneck, apocalyptic rhythm, with an ace dub. A digi classic.
