In the way of M.I.A. news, BBC Radio host Zane Lowe premiered a new song called “Steppin’ Up,” which is certainly by M.I.A., but it’s not evident whether the song will be featured on her forthcoming album, /\/\ /\ Y /\. The preliminary track listings have not revealed a song by that name, at least.

Next up, 2DopeBoyz have posted a not-too-different remix of M.I.A.’s electropop summer jam, “XXXO,” and Jay-Z even contributed a verse near the end. Check their blog and hear the song over there. You can also download the mp3.
