Now Playing: Diplo x DJ Snake x MØ – “Lean On”

3 Mar

Diplo has been on a tear lately – release after release. Since being released yesterday I have had this on repeat, mostly thanks to MØ. Frankly after hearing “”Don’t Wanna Dance” for the first time last year, I was hooked on and I believe she’s going to be a star. Featuring on a track with Diplo and DJ Snake doesn’t hurt too much either! If you haven’t yet listened, click play below.
