DESCRIPTION:
Rap & RnB LP On Ltd Edition Purple Vinyl & Includes Free CD Of The LP Feat Lil Yachty, Santoigold, DRAM & Many More
Diplo has released another solo record named for a state. The modest-seeming California EP harkens back to the mood of that first album, channeling the DJ’s sadz through understated downtempo production and a star-studded guest list. Here though, Partyboi Diplo has asked his energetic vocalists to change things up, like Judd Apatow trying to coax depth from Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen in Funny People. In a smart opening gambit, he enlists Lil Yachty, Mr. Happy himself, for the hook on standout “Worry No More,” which also features early Diplo collaborator Santigold. It’s a straightforward song about chasing your dreams, embellished with familiar dancehall touches. But Yachty’s plaintive singing steals the show and gives the track an emotional weight rarely present on a Diplo record. His delivery is heartfelt, as if he’d never made it big in the first place.

Last FM Information on Diplo
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Thomas Wesley Pentz (born November 10, 1978), better known by his stage name Diplo, is a Philadelphia-based American DJ, producer, and songwriter. Together with DJ Low Budget, he runs Hollertronix, a club and music collective. He also founded and manages record company Mad Decent, as well as the not for profit organization Heaps Decent. Among other jobs, Pentz has worked as a school teacher in Philadelphia.
During his rise to notability, Diplo worked with British musician M.I.A., an artist who is credited with helping expose him in his early career. Later, Pentz and fellow M.I.A. producer Switch created a Jamaican dancehall project titled Major Lazer. Since then, Diplo has worked on production and mixtape projects with many other notable pop artists. Pentz's alias, short for Diplodocus, derives from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs.
