This track is old. Quickly retouched it up (amplified it). Might have another go at throwing a few effects at it with Audacity (or even Ableton Live). Might not. Got DJ ideas really at the moment.

10th anniversary vinyl reissue available here: https://www.bbemusic.com/downloads/dirty-old-hip-hop/
Originally released in March 2006 and virtually impossible to procure on vinyl ever since, BBE are excited to announce a special ten year anniversary edition of the classic Visioneers album Dirty Old Hip Hop. Brainchild of 4hero and Reinforced Records founder Marc Mac, the Visioneers project first appeared on a series of limited edition 7” vinyl releases. Marc began re-imagining his favourite hip hop beats from the golden era, retaining the feel of those extended, looping grooves whilst also re-introducing the excitement and musicianship of the records from which they were sampled: ‘Dirty Old Hip Hop’ was born. Drawing on the musical talents of Somatik and drummer Luke Parkhouse, both regulars on the 4hero sessions, this largely instrumental album also featured stunning performances from rappers Capitol A and Voice. An artist who was introduced to jazz music by his favourite hip hop beat-makers, ‘Dirty Old Hip Hop’ serves as a loving tribute to both art-forms, weaving the two together until even the most ardent purist will find it hard to define any space between. Dirty Old Hip Hop was shortlisted for Gilles Peterson‘s coveted Worldwide album of the Year award in 2006.

“Visioneers is not a band, it’s a studio project. I want to pay respect to hip hop producers like Jazzy Jeff, Jay Dee and Pete Rock for introducing me to Jazz and I needed to produce the tracks like hip hop records that sound phat in a club and not like dinner Jazz; it’s about reclaiming Jazz.” – Marc Mac, 2006

4hero Feat. Jody Watley - Bed Of Roses (ShyFX & T Power Remix) (Radio)

Job's gone, rent's too, I don't know what I'm gonna do
Baby's crying, baby's daddy always lying
A childhood flashback, a little kid with a dream
Can this really be? What happened to my dream?

Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Single mothers, incarcerated brothers
Loveless, hopeless, working to turn it all around
Government cutbacks, war kills, you can't take it back
Families left wondering, what happened to our dream?

Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong


Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

It is said that only the strong survive
And remember how good it is to be alive
Well, around me, I see pain and poverty
And it's hard to imagine that thing of being all that I can be
But I visualize and I see the light that shines

Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
