Executive Production : Gaetan Rousseau / Paradoxal
Special thanks to Lana & Melissa from The Director's Bureau
As you can see from the video M.I.A. is making a clear statement against injustices committed around the globe. She has been pretty outspoken about her thoughts on her native country of Sri Lanka and explains how "music now should be like a sonic message. You want to really feel it, internally. The police use sound cannons at public protests that explode people’s inside with a single note - human beings have to come up with the opposite of that." [via] For the curious locals, half of the video is shot in Los Angeles around the warehouse district by the 101 Freeway.
For all the producer heads/music nerds a clearer picture of how the track came to by was provided by Diplo's Mad Deccent site:
"It was a royal mess of all our good buds- Switch, John Hill, and Diplo plus Iggor Cavalera (1/2 Mixhell, ex-Sepultura)! All those dudes in a room, a generous sample of Suicide, sick sick drumming from Iggor (and here's another tidbit for u - it was recorded on POPO's shitty ass drumset at the mausoleum!) --- and you got it."
