MIA - Kala

Rating:

Release Date: 20-08-2007
Record Label: XL Recordings

Hounslow's MIA proves herself queen of tribal grime with new opus Kala!

WHAT'S THE DEAL? Second album from innovative, grimey, ragga-y Souff London rapper, whose father was a Sri Lankan political activist.

ANY GOOD? It's fantastic - both haunting and upbeat, ingesting a wide plethora of world music influences. 'Boyz' is proper streetwise tribalism, while the Eastern 'Jimmy' sounds like something Borat might jig his hairy butt to!

IN FIVE WORDS: Tricky after a gender change!
