M.I.A. as "Vickileekx"


M.I.A. has released a new free mixtape available for download called "Vickileekx" (a kind of wordplay on the whole Wikileaks scandal). It is awesome and arguably her best work as of yet. I love it so much, it is my new favorite CD. The songs are leftovers and unreleased tracks from her last album called "MAYA." It is composed of about 20 tracks that are mixed together as one track (which usually would bother me, but it completely works here).

If you are able to download this, I highly recommend it. I really didn't expect the quality of the songs to be so fantastic or interesting (considering that it is available for free). In my opinion, she should have just swapped out her last CD with his one. Her album "MAYA" should have been the free mixtape (but I guess this is what makes M.I.A. so interesting). You really never know what you are going to get with her.

Oh how I love free music, so completely satisfying this one was. Every track is excellent and more reminiscent of her live shows with a DJ. Clip below has a download link (just click on the viewing screen and it will take you to Youtube, the link is listed in the comments field). Sometimes mixtapes disappear, I would download sooner than later.
