Here it right here.

Rapper, singer, and artist Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, better known as M.I.A. is making a lot of noise with her Euro, retro, techno style music. Her hit single Planes appeared on the soundtrack to the summer weed-head comedy, Pineapple Express , and was sampled for a Kanye, Jay-Z, Wayne , and T.I. collaboration.  

Coming from Europe, with Sri Lankan descent, M.I.A. has strong views on politics and socialism.   These views can be seen portrayed in her music, clothing line and graphic art.   Her art reminds you of an old Nintendo game background.   She uses bright and flashy pixilated shapes, often crude looking tessellations with overlapping images. It all goes together with her Euro-retro style. I wouldn't be surprised if she partnered up with some company to create an M.I.A. game; maybe Def-Jam or somebody.

M.I.A. has been on the map since 2004, and is reaping the benefits of her sophomore album Kala. I look forward to hearing and seeing what comes out of her 3rd album
