M.I.A. has taken shots at Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, and now the outspoken singer is serving up a different kind of shot—“Teqkilla.” Take a rousing beat, mix it with a catchy chorus, and serve on the rocks. M.I.A. will perform July 13 on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” the same day her album /\/\/\Y/\ arrives in stores. Get drunk on her latest concoction below.
[...] The latest leak from M.I.A.’s imminent///Y/ album is “Teqkilla,” produced by Rusko, MIA, Switch and John Hill. In the juicy track she mentions many alcohol brands: Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan, etc., over childlike chanting and the sounds of ice tincking in glass. Of those brands, one has a special significance: “When I met Seagrams / Sent Chivas down my spine.” Note Chivas is owned by Seagrams, the beverage company her fiance Benjamin Brewer’s family purchased last century. She also mentions Sparks, once the official open-bar threat of Brooklyn. (via Rap-Up) [...]
