Major Lazer are on a mission
With Music Is The Weapon, Diplo and co. pursue their mission to free the universe through music. They have already accomplished a great deal on the way – the singles ‘Lean On” (feat.

The group’s back catalogue also includes tracks with Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, Pharrell Williams and Sean Paul.
Over the years they’ve also released the albums Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do (2009), Free the Universe (2013) and Peace Is the Mission (2015).
