I wonder what hippies in the ’60s would think of Maya Hayuk, who seems to translate the incomprehensible joy of the universe into technicolor paintings and murals. I don’t think they would have been able to handle the truth. Rye Rye commissioned a wall piece from her for the video for Sunshine [watch video below].

SPONSOR

Rye Rye is on fire and has gone all double-dutch with M.I.A. Dope lo-key beats with an old-school fly-girl attitude: this is a total summer song that’s going to heat up the coming cold winter months. Hopefully the single comes with that t-shirt M.I.A. is wearing: ‘Fuck Google, Ask Me’.

M.I.A., quick to recognize talent in her own ranks, signed the first act to her N.E.E.T. label — backup dancer and rapper Rye Rye. Ryeisha Berrain made a name for herself in her hometown of Baltimore working with DJ-producer Blaqstarr. Now, with the video for the single Bang, featuring M.I.A., making the Internet rounds, Berrain is set to release an already overdue debut album.
