Rye Rye releases new single, "Sunshine," featuring M.I.A.
"Sunshine," the first single from Rye Rye's upcoming album, "Go! Pop! Bang!" is out. M.I.A., who signed Rye Rye to her NEET label, makes a cameo.
M.I.A. kicks off the single taunting Rye Rye about a school crush, before the Baltimore MC boasts about stealing back her man. All this over hand claps and gratuitous sass.
The Baltimore native posted the track Monday on her Facebook profile, before Stereogum picked it up.
The new album has long been in the works, but was delayed last year while she was pregnant.
It is now due to to be released early next year by NEET/Interscope.
Last we heard from Rye Rye she was touring with M.I.A., who last performed in Baltimore at the Virgin Mobile FreeFest.
Stream the single at Rap-up.

No one cares about Rye Rye.
I do on the otherhand enjoy Pumpernickel Pumpernickel. Way more underground and independent, AKA cooler!

@Anonymous I don't know why you are hating on this song. Every track Rye Rye has released and Ive heard has been great, including this song. Very unique sound, especially when M.I.A. gets in on the action. I give it a 4/5.
