Mija, the boundary-pushing DJ/Producer and tastemaker, dropped her final single from the highly-anticipated NO RULES EP, which will definitely light up dance floors everywhere. ‘I Wanna Be A Big Star‘, featuring Hip-Hop artist Cakes Da Killa and the rising queer rapper/producer/DJ, Wreckno, was released today via Mija’s own imprint, never b alone.mp3.
The track draws inspiration from the iconic 1990 documentary film, ‘Paris Is Burning,’ which celebrates the spirit of freedom, self-expression, and the joy of life. Mija effortlessly weaves old-school vocal samples into her classic throwback production, creating a sonic landscape that captures the essence of the ballroom culture, which she considers the bedrock of all dance music.
Cakes Da Killa and Wreckno bring their lyrical prowess to the table, delivering sharp-tongued verses that complement Mija’s musical vision perfectly. The result is a House tune that embodies the raw emotion of its source material while delivering quick and dirty drops that invite you to both dance and reflect.
