Diplo knows a couple of things about making mixtapes with female pop singers. Back in 2004, he and M.I.A. put together the now-classic Piracy Funds Terrorism, Vol. 1. Then, in 2008, he collaborated with Santigold on the Top Ranking mixtape. And now La Roux, the British electro-pop duo led by Elly Jackson, has hooked up with Major Lazer, the dancehall-freaking duo of Diplo and Switch, to record a mixtape of their very own, entitled Lazerproof. Diplo's Mad Decent label will release the tape for free download on May 26-- this Wednesday.

 

Diplo and Switch put the tape together on a recent trip to Jamaica, and it features appearances from Gucci Mane, Drake, Gyptian, Rusko, and Amanda Blank (though the Drake and Gucci verses aren't new).

AMAZING.

Odd combination.

Sounds very interesting :o

It sounds incredible <3.

Ugh. La Roux.

Afrojack is not part of Major Lazer? :o

So I haven't listened to the whole thing because it took so long to first receive the link and then actually download...but so far I'm loving 'Independent Kill', the 'Cover My Eyes' edit and 'I'm Not Your Lemonade'. :wub:
