UPDATE [12:30 PM PST]: "Go Off" is officially here. Listen to it here or over at the BBC site.English rapper M.I.A. has been going back and forth about whether or not to leak her upcoming album, AIM, but one thing's for certain: it will feature in-demand producer Skrillex.After hinting at the team-up last November, the song, titled "Go Off" (which also features regular M.I.A. collaborator Blaqstarr), is scheduled to finally hit the masses tomorrow (July 15) as the LP's lead single.

On September 24, M.I.A. will headline Afropunk in London.
