3. Free The Universe (2013)
“I am playing this on repeat. love the different kinds of tracks that are on this. Stand out tracks for me are Get Free and Jessica these are laid back reggae tracks that makes you wanna be on a beach sipping a cocktail in the sun. Watch Out For This and Wind Up are dancehall tracks which i cannot stop moving my hips to. Then there Jah No Partial which you can’t play low you gotta turn it up and feel the baseline.”
2. Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do (2009)
“Occasionally crass, occasionally questionable, occasionally obnoxious. Lyrically, no different than most rap music and very much tongue in cheek in tone (listen to What U Like and you’ll know what I mean…). The music provided and produced by Diplo (and the many dub and reggae artists) is just, in short, banging. It’s perfect for starting a night out, partying, gymming. For those who want to try some dub and dancehall (as opposed to dubstep) and to those wanting to listen to what’s coming out of the Caribbean, this is a great place to start…”
1. Peace Is The Mission (2015)
“Anyone who has followed Diplo’s MAJOR LAZER know that this is the funkiest man behind a synth. That being said his crew of DJS Walshy Fire and Jillonaire have refined their touch almost too awesomely. This album has some very very slick female vocal. NYLA on Light it Up is a Jamaican word smasher if you can clearly hear every word. Roll the Bass if by far their best throwback to their roots. This album if a BANGER if you’ve got four Infinity 15 in subs. If you don’t have this soon, you’ll simply not be cool.”
