Noh Worry Wednesday: MAJOR LAZER! (6/16/09)



This Noh Worry Wednesday is all about Major Lazer!

This is fyah bran fiyah bran fiyah bran new!

A sizzlin' production collabo with Diplo and Switch. (If you don't know who they are...these 2 gave you M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes"*

Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the top secret Zombie battle of 1984. His arm is now a lazer and seeks to destroy all zombies for the sake of mankind. He gets down with the dancehall and is rumored to have a rocket powered skateboard. Not only is he saving lives he will be burning up your damn speakers.

This is the new crossover sound of dancehall/reggae.

The debut album: "Guns Don't Kill People. Lazers Do" is set to release next Tuesday. This is sure to be a classic as it was recorded in Jamaica at Tuff Gong Studios. (DTML will provide a COMPLETE album review)

Features include: Santogold, Vybez Kartel, Ward 21, Busy Signal, Nina Skye, Mr. Vegas.

You can stream the entire album here----->ZUMBIE

I was a little confused when my boy Kenny W. (MyGodComplex) put me on to this and I heard Andy Milinokis on the track, but the shit is crack trust me. Santogold gets busy with Major Lazer and to hear the sick sick sick track "Cashflow" featuring Jahdhan Blakkamoore click here -------->FADER MAG

Just because we at the Detroit Taste Makers League like to dig down dip and give you the goods you are too lazy find for yourself, here are the first two videos from the album.

"Hold The Line" feat. Santogold (This song & vid give you the motherfucking business!!!)




"Zumbie" feat. Andy Milinokis** (Weird...but funny. The beat is crazy)



*Because I am obsessed with Mayer Hawthorne...he does a rendition of this song live at his show. AMAZING!!
**I am inviting Andy to the next dancehall party that I go to. Who knew??
