Dancehall fans will have something to cheer about this weekend due to the imminent release of Major Lazer’s upcoming album. The album titled Music Is The Weapon, will mark the trio’s 4th studio album and is slated for release on the 23 October 2020.
Major Lazer, made up of producer Diplo, DJ Walshy Fire and Ape Drums, will be promoting the 12 track album in California in a 3 day drive through tour from the release date. The Caribbean faithful will have a lot to cheer about as the album features a lot of Jamaican flavour including collaborations with, Busy Signal, Shenseea and Skip Marley. In addition, the trio has included two African acts in Mr Eazi and Joeboy and topped it off with Trinidadian superstar Nicki Minaj.
