New album from Life...
The Phi-Life front-man comes correct with his 3rd solo album 'Outside Looking In'. Released on March 3rd, the album sees Life in a rich vein of form, doing what he does best; politically aware, truth based music. Not only does DJ Nappa handle all of the production on the album, he is also given his own chance to shine on the bonus Nappa Beat-Tape disc too. 28 classic, re-worked & exclusive 'Best Of Life' instrumentals...

ramshackle mix of humour, ranting and general bad language, plus music from
favourite artists (past & presnt), new Diggers songs and more than nod to
the joys of afternoon gin & bitter lemon...you can hear the madness here...
