Nearly every blog comment or review said 19-year-old Rye Rye stole the show at HARD NYC back in July. It was a welcome return after Rye Rye was quiet for a bit, and her in-the-works debut album, Go! Pop! Bang! was delayed (for good reason — she had a baby girl in late 2009). So [...]

Last week another collaboration (“S.U.S. (Save Ur Soul)” is another) from Blaqstarr and M.I.A. hit the web. And it looks like M.I.A. bought another single serving URL to host the track herself. Check out “Lemme Hump You” (and the animated dancers) at http://www.ithinkyoumightgetshitforthat.com/. Better tha...

My cohorts and much of the world may disagree, but I think ///Y/’s a good record. It opens with “The Message,” here recast as “FACEBOOKGOOGLEMYSPACEYOUTUBE,” in case you had trouble getting that message. The clip’s aesthetic follows the digital explosions of “Story To Be Told&...

Diplo tweeted a link to this “lost” M.I.A. song, presumably from the ///Y/ sessions. As you can tell, it’s a demo, without much more than M.I.A.’s processed vocals, a beat, and a grinding synth, but Diplo also said he may leak the full version soon. Listen:MIA and Diplo – “4THEPEOPLEON...
