Album: Diplo – Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley: Chapter 2 – Swamp Savant
With 2020’s Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley: Chapter 1 - Snake Oil, international superstar DJ Diplo proved he was more than just an EDM artist, channelling his country roots on a stacked LP that featured collaborations with Cam, Orville Peck, Blanco Brown and more. The Tupelo, Mississippi-born artist once again celebrates his Southern upbringing on Chapter 2 - Swamp Savant, a similarly collaborative LP of country-EDM fusion with no shortage of special guests, including Lily Rose, Paul Cauthen, Sierra Ferrell, Morgan Wade and more. “When I started getting older, I really started playing more classics when I'm just driving,” Diplo tells Apple Music. “I'm playing more Fleetwood Mac records. I'm playing more Kenny Rogers records. I'm driving around and getting back to records that I loved, because they meant something when I was driving with my Grandpa down I-95.”
