M.I.A. has shared another new single to SoundCloud - this one's named "MIA OLA - FOREIGN FRIEND".
This latest track follows the NFL-aimed "Boom ADD", "Borders", and "Swords", and it samples The Lion King at a few points. It doesn't seem like M.I.A. has the right signatures to do so, however:
pirates! throw that shit on dj sites WORLDWIDE no borders - b 4 Disney shut it down!
