A remix of controversial singer M.I.A.'s single 'XXXO' hit has hit the Internet featuring a surprise cameo by Jay-Z.

Over the electro-dance beat, Jiggaman kicks a nasal, hipster-inspired flow, beginning "XXXO, y'all just so metrosexual/ It's not my politically correct flow/ It's more like lettin' my Tec blow."

On the track, Jay is both hood and tongue-in-cheek, referencing his days as a drug dealer and name-checking more machine guns, before concluding "Just a boy from the hood, what you want from me?" Check the track out here.

This is not the first time M.I.A. and Jay have worked together; the two shared the stage at the 2009 Grammy Awards alongside Kanye West, Lil Wayne and T.I., performing 'Swagga Like Us,' which samples M.I.A.'s hit 'Paper Planes.'

M.I.A. is said to be currently working on a video for 'XXXO' with legendary hip-hop music video director Hype Williams. Her album, '/\/\/\Y/\,' is scheduled for a July 13 release. There is no word as to whether the remix will be included on the album.
