Niska is a pioneer of Afro Trap in France, having already achieved 5 diamond certified singles and accrued over 1 billion YouTube views, leading him to become a ubiquitous figure in France and across social media, where he has over 2 million Instagram followers. His influence even extends to Blaise Matuidi, the tireless Juventus midfielder, who celebrates each of his goals by mimicking Niska’s signature gesture.

“Niska came over late one night in Paris and we played this idea down on a piano loop that I made.” Says Diplo; “I had only been familiar with him because he had every song on the French Spotify chart that moment. I was really excited that he came through and made this crazy idea with me. One year later we finished it, and it’s out for all my Parisians now.”.

The EP’s six tracks further highlight Diplo’s incredible ear for rising talent and groundbreaking collaborations, with announcement of the stellar guest features from a range of Europe’s hottest urban artists coming soon.

Diplo, born Thomas Wesley Pentz, is one of the most dynamic forces in music today under his own name, as well as a founding member of Major Lazer. As the world’s most in-demand producer, Diplo has worked with artists such as Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Madonna, Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars, Britney Spears, M.I.A., Lil Yachty, MØ and many more.
