New music: Diplo – Express Yourself feat. Nicky Da B

In between flogging Blackberrys and making stuff up on Twitter, Diplo is also still working pretty hard at being a producer. His recent output has included the amazing new Usher single, Climax, and joining forces with Dr Luke for the new Marina and the Diamonds single. He's also been working with Snoop Dogg, which seems like such a perfect marriage of styles it's a wonder it hasn't happened before. He's also finally released details of his new EP, Express Yourself, which was first rumoured last December, now due in May. If the title track is anything to go by then fans of bounce – a frantic take on New Orleans hip-hop – are in for a treat. Full of double-time beat claps and big rumbling basslines, it sounds like a panic attack set to music, with Nicky Da B's rapid-fire rhymes ramping the mood up. In the potentially NSFW video we see a lot of men and women practising what look like straightforward aerobic exercises that focus solely on the gluteus maximus.
