MIA To Work With Jay-Z?

Singer reveals she's written "perfect" trap for rapper

MIA has expressed interest in working with rapper Jay-Z.

Talking to MTV news, she revealed: "I have got the perfect song for Jay-Z!"

The track was written for her forthcoming album, Maya, but the singer changed her mind and left it off, adding: "I want to give it to [Jay-Z], because I think it suits him more."

The pair have combined efforts previously on 2008’s ‘Swagga Like Us’ and Jay-Z will be releasing a remix of MIA’s ‘XXXO’ this month.
