M.I.A.’s still capitalizing on that middle-finger buzz. With her own imprint, N.E.E.T., seeming to be past its best days, the British star has signed a deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. At least as of now, she won’t be releasing her albums under their flag, the deal is more akin to a management partnership, which considering Hov’s handling of artists such as Rihanna and Santigold, will likely play out well for the controversial Maya. Confirming the deal, Roc Nation tweeted, “The nation just keeps growing,” along with a picture of M.I.A.’s artist page.
No date is set as of yet, but look out for M.I.A.’s fourth LP sometime this year, tentatively titled Matangi.
