Rapper/singer/producer Tkay Maidza hails from in Australia via Zimbabwe, and she makes music covers even more ground than that. If Maidza's "U-Huh" video wasn't enough to affirm that she's worthy of our collective attention -- it was -- the new Switch Tape seals the deal. Over the course of originals, remixes, and Maidza's features on other people's tracks, it presents a wildly adventurous talent. Before the thing is even halfway finished she samples the "Fuck every question you askin'!" part from "Black Skinhead," approximates PC Music's more-human-than-human electro-pop, and glides over neon house music. Switch Tape, indeed. Listen or download below, where you can also watch the "U-Huh" video.
