M.I.A.'s 'Steppin Up' Gets a Kuku Bass Remix from Zakee

Zakee is our favorite new artist on Green Owl Records, and he is nothing short of amazing. We first posted about the Philly resident (who comes by way of Dakar) over on OKP a little while ago, and the responses we got were terrific. Now, Zakee's back with a heavy-hitting remix for M.I.A.'s "Steppin Up" off her forthcoming album. Thick with kuku bass, Zakee's Kuduro signature, this one knocks hard.
