Do YaM.I.A.

Released: March 22, 2004

Yeah, I'mma rock that
Yeah, I'mma fuck that
Yeah, I'mma feel that

Just do ya, do ya, do ya

Yeah, how you ride that?
Yeah, how you be that?
Yeah, how you do that?

Just do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya

Let me hear ya try and mack
Let me touch ya front and back
Let me grab ya like a gat

Just do ya, do ya, do ya

Let me break you at the sack
Take your tic to my tac
Do my dance on ya lap

Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya

Get me books to read me
Get me films to show me
Get me food to feed me

When I do ya, do ya, do ya

Make me scream so freaky
Make me dream so freaky
Make me freaky-deaky

When I do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya

Let me sway like gypsy
Let me sip 'lot a whiskey
Let me talk that Hindi

As I do ya, do ya, do ya

Sexy roxy-roxy
I get juicy-juicy
Can you film me, film me

As I do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya?

M.I.A.

One of the most musically-diverse and perplexing artists of the 2000s, Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam is arguably the decade’s best representation of Hip-Hop in its truest form and artistry in its broadest, most diverse format. Her lyrics are as political as Public Enemy, her sound is more eclectic than Stankonia-era Outkast, and she is as aesthetically-driven as Kanye West.

The road that M.I.A. was forced to travel to international stardom was not an easy one. Born on July 18th, 1975 in Hounslow, West London to Sri-Lankan Tamil immigrants, she moved to her parents' homeland when she was only six months old. However, it was the Sri Lankan Civil War which came to shape her childhood. During her formative years, she witnessed many her father was hunted as an enemy of the state, her schools were bombarded, and her impoverished family was constantly in hiding. In 1986, her family moved back to London to find stability and a sense of relative peace.

In England, she discovered her artistic talents and completed several years of secondary education in fine art – eventually gaining attention as a visual artist, painter, and musician. In the early-2000s, Maya began to seriously explore her musical talents and used the internet and underground radio as the means to build her reputation as a unique and talented firebrand. Amidst her no-nonsense politics, however, critics from around the world heard a talent in the making.
