M.I.A And Timbaland

So M.I.A, the Sri-Lankan/ South Londoner, was refused entry to the U.S this week. This wouldn't be particularly exciting news except it transpired she was traveling across the pond to work with Timbaland.
M.I.A's Arular (buy) was one of last year's most vibrant and exciting records with production coming from Richard X and Diplo. Now I can only hope Timbo comes to the UK to produce some bangers for her new album cos the two of them could seriously 'rip shit up'.
This remix of Maya's Rocky sampling colossus is by one of the best grime producers around DaVinChe. His beat on Kano's 'P's and Q's is second to none.

It looks like Timbo has found another muse to rival Missy in Nelly Furtado. The two tracks i've heard from her new album with him are both silky smooth twisty Timbaland classics.
Here in the UK we're getting 'Maneater' as the first single though I prefer 'promiscuous Girl.' Can't wait to hear the full album.

Finally i've been thinking about my favourite Timbo produced track. 'Cry Me a River' may be the best pop song of all time. Then there's 'Get Your Freak on' among the Missy tunes, various Jay-Z tracks and Aalliyah's 'Try Again'.
I'll go for this one from Bubba Sparxxx excellent Deliverance LP. It's got two choruses and those typical scattergun Mosley high hats.
