MP3: "Top Ranking" - Diplo vs. Santogold Mixtape

The baile-funk-electro productionaire Diplo left M.I.A. in the dust (no disrespect!) this go-around and snatched up the female sensation Santogold for his new mixtape which he calls "Top Ranking". After giving it a careful listen, the mixtape is a bit of a letdown, but it's got some highlights and definitely worth checking out.

Below, please enjoy a free mp3 download and tracklist for the mixtape, and a press-worthy quote from LA Riots' interview with the L.A. Times about the mixtape.
