Is it safe to say that M.I.A.'s "retirement" is officially over? Because between her Diesel party set/baby-creating announcement, the How Many Votes Fix Mix EP, her track for that Slumdog Millionaire movie, and that Tom Waits/"The Wire" theme cover with Blaqstarr, Maya Arulpragasam has been pretty busy.

Add "mix hosting" to her list of un-retirement activities, because the London MC plays the "person saying things in between and over the top of music" role (à la DJs Khaled and Drama) on a forthcoming compilation from late Baltimore producer and radio personality Khia Edgerton, aka DJ K-Swift. The Club Queen: Greatest Hits also includes contributions from Blaqstarr, M.I.A. protégé Rye Rye, and tons of others.

Koch imprint Unruly will release The Club Queen: Greatest Hits on December 9.
