Major Lazer feat. PARTYNEXTDOOR & Nicki Minaj – Run Up [Lyric Video]

Partynextdoor is a good friend of ours. We’re always working in LA when he is around and we’ve cut a lot of music and we really believe in what he does and his style. He came up with a great song. I’ve always wanted to work with Nicki as well, she’s on our short list. Of course this record…..she just vibed with it, she loved the feeling and timing was right so we got her on it. So hopefully we can do a lot more with her next time, we’ve traded some music back and forth so hopefully we got some of that done. – Diplo on recording Run Up

Major Lazer feat. Protoje – Christmas Trees [Audio]

Off of Mad Decent’s holiday compilation “A Very Decent Christmas 4”, which is available here. It’s the most wonderful time of the year again, a time when we all lose our minds. At Mad Decent, we’re back to light up your holiday season one more time with “A Very Decent Christmas 4”. And as with previous years, we’ve flipped your favorite tracks into unforgettable Christmas carols. But what makes this season different is the shear amount of original jingling tracks from our favorite Christmas loving producers: this is the official soundtrack to your post-apocalyptic holiday season. This dark but merry affair is a true global takeover with artists from Kyoto, Trinidad, The Netherlands and everywhere in between. You’ll find Major Lazer crossing paths with Protoje on “Christmas Trees” — cause who doesn’t love lighting those up? Sharing a pine needle flavored vape fireside in an abandoned castle in the woods, you’ll find Rap and Reggae holding hands with Gabber and Dembow. And since the world is mad and gone, we had to reach out to visionary artist Juyong Lee to visually portray the mechanical, capitalist path the holidays have inevitably taken. Whatever red God you worship—whether it be Santa, Krampus, or Joulupukki— we got your ears covered with this yearly chimney ritual by Mad Decent.
