Sri Lanka rapper/singer and visual artist M.I.A. residing in Hounslow, London, England, has made a transformation from sexy to “sexy n wild”. Since stepping onto the music scene in 2003 from her hit single “Galang,” M.I.A. has grown radically in popularity. Recently the rapper recorded her upcoming video “Boyz” for her forthcoming album “Kala” which will be released under XL Recordings/Interscope Records. The album is expected to be out in the U.S. on August 21, 2007 and will feature production from Timbaland, Switch, Diplo, M.I.A. herself and others.
Her latest single “Boyz” will be released on enhanced CD along with her promo video, behind the scenes, remixes and more. The song “Boyz” will also be available on 12″ vinyl and via a M.I.A. branded USB wristband.

As of today the artist was announced as being added to the Siren Fest which will make this her first appearance in the U.S. for Kala. Siren Fest will be July 21, 12-9pm, at Coney Island, in New York City.
On last year she wasn’t allowed into the country for an unspecified reason. Some believe that it was due to her lyrics.
The rapper is reportedly working with Three 6 Mafia on two tracks for her next album.
