Really digging this video at the moment, pretty funny.  I’m actually not even a huge Major Lazer fan, but this video had me bumping and just had to watch the whole thing.  Love how Diplo serves refreshments before these ninjas begin to slay.  Who are these folks and where are they from, they have a huge baby cheetah throw hanging on the wall, what a find.  must investigate…
