Video: M.I.A. + Blaqstarr, “Way Down in the Hole”

• story THE FADER

Since we heard that M.I.A. and Blaqstarr were doing a Baltimore-influenced cover of “Way Down in the Hole,” the opening theme from The Wire, we were a little skeptical. After hearing the original blast out of our TV in various iterations for five consecutive seasons we were sure we’d had enough versions of the song. It turns out we were totally wrong! If you haven’t voted yet, go vote, then come back and watch a Youtube video of M.I.A. filming herself watching a cut of the video on her computer. (Via Nick Catchdubs)
