Kala (VMP Essentials Exclusive 2XLP Neon Purple + Neon Green Vinyl)

MIA's Kala is a phenomenal record that has stood the test of time since it’s release all the way back in 2007, only to garner more acclaim and recognition within the industry as the years go by.

M.I.A.’s tendency to splice across differing genres and to incorporate political commentary within her lyrics elevate this into something way higher than a typical hiphop record. Although she does know how to create some absolute bangers, all of them have so much depth worth analyzing to get a deeper understanding of M.I.A.’s message within her music. Kala is probably her best record to date, especially with how seamless it is from start to finish. Highest of recommendations for this one!
