Anyone familiar with the genre knows that Reggae artists have been covering pop records since day one. Good to see that tradition continue in 2010, this time via Major Lazer and Ele covering Beyonce’s “Halo”.

I gotta admit though, I’ve never heard the full original. Hopefully they do it justice.

Check out the audio below…

…via TSS.

Diplo and Switch link up with Nina Sky and Brooklyn’s own Ricky Blaze for this one. Check out the video below…

Here is the video off of Major Lazer’s album “Guns Don’t Kill People, Lazers Do”, Pon De Floor. The video is pretty interesting has a lot of daggering in it so it’s probably NSFW. It also features deejay/dancer Skerrit Bwoy.

First off, I’m so glad that I have a reason to post a picture of some ginnips. Gotta love that…

Anyway, just saw this post over at Seen, with some nice mixes for you to bump this, or any weekend. Check out the info below…

…1: Mad Professor: “Anti Social Workers - Positive Style” (via Ole/Dyrdee)

2: Major Lazer: “Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1” and “Mishka presents Keep Watch Vol. 10”

3: Walshy Killa a.k.a. The King of Oldschool Dancehall: “Decades” - a 97-track live mix of 60´s, 70´s, 80´s and 90´s Dancehall…

Enjoy it!

The Fader has been dropping some goodies the past couple of days and even though I’m not from Brooklyn I thought I should spread love. Check out the clip from the Fader Release Party of Issue 62 where they through a rooftop party in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Major Lazer peformed “Pon De Floor” & “Hold The Line”
