Street sounds and reality noise, like gunshots, radio static, and PacMan dying are incorporated into this intense rap/hip hop/industrial joint that features heavy club-hitters like Akon on the bubbly “Crazy Bitch,” Robyn on the thoughtful “Never Will Be Mine,” and most notably on the Bolly-influenced “Sunshine” with M.I.A.
