Frank Ocean, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon & Diplo - Hero


Every once in a while, Converse likes to release a new installment to their "Three Artists, One Song" series.  It's exactly what the title suggests; three artists collaborate on a song and then it's released as a free download by Converse.  For reference, this collaboration between Kimbra, Mark Foster, and A-Trak was pretty amazing.

"Hero" technically features four artists this time around, although the legendary Mick Jones and Paul Simonon have that Clash thing in common.  Frank Ocean takes on vocal duties, with assistance from the West Los Angeles Children's Choir, and Diplo handles the production bits.  Honestly, anything that involves members of The Clash is worth a listen.

Diplo - Set It Off (Feat. Lazerdisk Party Sex)


Diplo's upcoming EP, Express Yourself, is out on June 12th and he just released yet another track from it.  "Set It Off" is a collaboration with Lazerdisk Party Sex, a duo of DJ's from Vermont.  It's not quite as filthy as the EP's title track, but it's still pretty amazing.  There's a pitched vocal sample and some pop-like chords.  Once again, the production is stellar. You can give the track a listen below.


In case you forgot about the lead single, here's the music video for "Express Yourself" with Nicky Da B.  Warning, lots of butt shaking in this one.  Lots. Feel free to join in if you must.


All six tracks from Express Yourself will be available June 12th on Mad Decent.  You can pre-order two different album packages directly from Mad Decent, here.  One of them comes with a t-shirt!
