Go big or go home, says Major Lazer‘s latest collaborative stunt. The latest release from the trio of Diplo, Walshy Fire, and Ape Drums taps Puerto Rican rapper Guaynaa for a reggaeton burner, following closely behind the dancehall outfit’s earlier 2021 original “Pra te Machucar” which, in a similar vein, united a heavy hitting ensemble including Ludmilla, ÀTTØØXXÁ, and Suku Ward.
Like its Diplo-referenced wordplay, “Diplomatico” exudes a playful character spearheaded by Guaynaa’s brazen verses. In its short span, the track delivers mischievous, yet sultry subtleties with its electronic-injected percussive patterns and sparing use of brass. Stream below.
