"Every bit of music out there that's making it into the mainstream is really about nothing. I wanted to see if I could write songs about something important and make it sound like nothing. And it kind of worked" - M.I.A.
It didn't kind of work...It's Working!!!
In one recording she touches on:
Emigration
Immigration
Border Control
Hope
The "American Dream"
Hustling
Violence in the "Third World"and so much more....

She inspires me so much, because her music is Spiritual Power delivered in a pop shell, which is exactly what I'm trying to do with my music.
