Major Lazer are no strangers to colossal collaborations, and their latest single ‘Run Up’ continues the trio’s preference for summer-friendly flavours with contributions from Nicki Minaj and PARTYNEXTDOOR.

Having recently announced their fourth album Music Is The Weapon, Major Lazer have now dropped another gem in what we’re anticipating will be a rollout filled with plenty of zesty, butt-shaking bangers. ‘Run Up’ begins with OVO signee PARYNEXTDOOR once again showing his versatility over more upbeat production, tackling hook duties and a verse before the assertive entrance of Nicki Minaj, who is also on the eve of releasing her own full-length.

“PARTYNEXTDOOR is a good friend of ours. We’re always working in LA when he is around and we’ve cut a lot of music and we really believe in what he does and his style. He came up with a great song. I’ve always wanted to work with Nicki as well, she’s on our short list. Of course this record… she just vibed with it, she loved the feeling and timing was right so we got her on it. So hopefully we can do a lot more with her next time, we’ve traded some music back and forth so hopefully we got some of that done,” Diplo said of the track.

Listen to ‘Run Up’ below, and remember that Diplo will be embarking on his biggest Australian tour next month with Post Malone, Anna Lunoe and Nina Las Vegas. This will be huge – let’s hope that we hear ‘Run Up’ live at the shows:
