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. MØ & DJ Snake)’ and ‘Cold Water (feat. Justin Bieber & MØ)’ are among the most streamed songs of all time on Spotify, with more than a billion streams each. 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). The group has also spread its message of peace on tour and reached billions of people, carrying their music and their dance moves to all corners of the globe.
