Premiere: M.I.A. - CanSeeCanDo

RDY 4 brand new M.I.A.?! Ya better be - here's her first new track since 2013 - CanSeeCanDo. Characteristically Mathangi Arulpragasam we're getting a dirty n' clattering beat with a clipped styled political rap and some sweet discussions in the player caption. How 'bout: 

SMOKE AND JAZZ AND SAXOPHONE 
GONA GET MY SADE ON

or

DEMOCRACY CONVERSATIONS ! TAMILS ARE STILL WAITING !
AND NO MY BEATS ARE NOT BETTER WITHOUT MY POLITICX.

Thoughts?

Lorde VS. M.I.A. - Royal Planes

It makes perfect sense mashing Lorde and M.I.A. like this! Both have a status of being outsiders but at the same time being highly successful and marketable. The former's debut single Royals is currently at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 while the latter is gearing up for the release of her highly anticipated 4th album Matangi. Royals freshness and crisp vocals sounds amazing over M.I.A.'s Paper Planes (which heavily samples The Clash and Wreckx-n-Effect) bangin' cash machines and guns and the attitudes blend seamlessly. Listen below and grab the download while your at it. Enjoy! A different kind of buzz indeed. 

Free Download: M.I.A. - Bring The Noize (Wuki Bootleg)

M.I.A.'s anti-capitalist anthem Bring The Noize gets treated to the highest honour for the message it's bringing. That would be a free download of an awesome trap bootleg of course! Denver based Kris Barman a.k.a Wuki tweaks the beat and adds layers that are too good for it to be a bootleg! This should be standing side by side with the main version for sure judging by the chorus alone! We can't think of a better soundtrack for a Sunday and we're gonna play it l.o.u.d! Dem-dem-dem-free-freekdem!

M.I.A. - Bring The Noize (Extended Freekdem Version)

M.I.A.'s new single Bring The Noize has really grown on us these last few weeks. The biggest objection we had was that it's so sample heavy. Nonetheless there's no denying its clattering and stuttering beats is perfect for her fiery rap. If you want more here's the just released Extended Freekdem Version which adds a new verse at the end. The lyrics can be found here. Enjoy!   

Video Premiere: M.I.A. - Bring The Noize

A new M.I.A. video usually feels like an experience to say the least. If she's not blowing up redheads she's racing cars in Saudi Arabia with badass Saudi women. The video to her sample heavy Bring The Noize just premiered and she's going all My Little Pony on acid and terror realness. Over that banging and stuttering beat she parties hard with her gang behind a fence and in an underground lair. The term 'holy cow' comes to mind as well! As always bricolage comes to us as well. Have a look belooow! Thoughts?
