Major Lazer & Elephant Man Inject Jamaican Style Into Beyonce's "Halo"

Major Lazer: Halo

By prawn1 February 3rd, 2010

We have featured Major Lazer on the blog before, and from the number of comments (a whole two!) it seems the Jamaican commando isn’t exactly popular. Would it help to know that the poor chap lost an arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984?

In any case, Diplo and Switch are back, and have teamed up with Jamaican dancehall rapper Elephant Man to cover Beyonce’s Grammy-winning ballad, Halo. It’s really well done, I like it. Give it a listen below or download it and let us know what you think.

  Oh the memories, I played Shaggy’s Mr Bombastic single to death back in the day. Don’t really know why, it wasn’t a great song. I must have been trying to snag a lady friend.
  Can’t say I keep up with the dancehall scene, but I like Kardinal Offishall (he’s Canadian) and his track Numba 1, moreso for the “Tide is High” reference and that it’s brainless fun.
