M.I.A. On Keep Watch Vol. X: Major Lazer; Also Venable
Via Pitchfork
Early reports on Diplo and Switch's Major Lazer project mentioned that M.I.A. would make a guest appearance on the album. Then the official tracklist came out-- and M.I.A. was, well, not on it.Download the mix here.But now, the influential rapper-singer-firebrand has shown up on a new Major Lazer mix, created for Mishka's Keep Watch series. (Via Gorilla vs Bear.) Her verse easily overshadows everything within a 100-mile radius.
"I say where's the daddy?" she repeats over the autotuned "Baby" riddim from the Major Lazer album before dismantling male dominated culture and paternal negligence like only she can. "Look at all the babies growin' up in the muck/ Lookin' up at the fucked up men like, 'Yuck'." If anything, motherhood has only made her more fierce. "I ain't gonna raise my son like that, 'cause this is a woman's world and he knows that," she concludes.
The M.I.A. tracks is at 11:20 and it pretty much rules. More info about the mix at mishkanyc.com.
In other FREE music news... check out this aptly-titled release by Venable, "Where's the Happy." It's melancholy, like early Cat Power or Gillian Welch, but in a beautiful way. Highly recommended. [Thanks GD]
