M.I.A. is the true artist of this generation, of this decade. She´s diverse, multicultural, an individualist and political. She´s an accomplished visual artist turned pop artist, song writer, producer, graphic designer, she has her own fashion collection, she experiments with different art forms and genres. But what makes her different is that she does everything so effortlessly. She has this incredible “creative city” street credit.
Anyway, here´s a remix of the brilliant Paper Planes. Check out M.I.A. - Paper Planes (Party Ben’s Fly Like High Like Remix) below:

New M.I.A. track Shells is available on the How Many Votes Fix Mix EP that was released early this week (Shells is also a bonus track on Kala). Yeah, and everything M.I.A. does is interesting!
Paper Planes was such a big hit in the US for M.I.A. that her album Kala gets rereleased with six bonus tracks next month. One of the tracks is a remix of Boyz that features Jay-Z. I like the remix a lot!
Listen to M.I.A.´s unreleased track Hit That. It´s produced by Bangladesh, the guy behind Lil‘ Wayne´s art piece A Milli. Hit That is the cousin or sister of Paper Planes with the lyrics “all I wanna do is…”. It´s a catchy M.I.A. track and the production sounds very today even though it´s a demo done last year.
Rye Rye is 17 year old young woman from Baltimore with super energetic attitude and unique vocals. She has been touring the States with MIA and now she´s signed to Interscope. The Count is Hervé, who´s track Cheap Thrills I posted a couple of weeks ago.
Hardcore Girls Feat Rye Rye by The Count & Sinden presents their approach to the sound of Baltimore breaks. Here´s the track and homemade video with Rye Rye.
T.I.´s Swagger Like Us samples M.I.A.´s fantastic Paper Planes and features T.I., Kanye West, Jay-Z and Lil´ Wayne. It´s a pretty cool track but why use the annoying vocoder??
M.I.A.´s Paper Planes was released late last year, but due to a new movie, Judd Apatow produced Pineapple Express, she is moving up the charts in the US at the moment. The Pineapple Express trailer with M.I.A.´s Paper Planes hit the TV screens a couple of weeks ago and now the excellent Paper Planes track is enjoying another wave of success. Watch the video to M.I.A.´s Paper Planes below.
Match made in heaven? Santogold and M.I.A teamed up with Radioclit to record a track called Get It up, which made its way on to the Santogold + Diplo mixtape Top Ranking. (By the way, Diplo is M.I.A´s producer.)
