Ape Drums Links with Silent Addy For New Dancehall Track “Mek Money” feat. Projexx

Major Lazer’s Ape Drums today returns with new single “Mek Money” alongside its music video shot on-location in Ochos Rios, Jamaica. Featuring Miami-via-Jamaica DJ/producer Silent Addy and vox by Jamaican artist Projexx, “Mek Money” sees Ape Drums deliver a subtly trap-infused dancehall banger that shows just why Ape has continued to be heralded as an innovator in both the dancehall and dance/electronic music spaces as he gears up for his new EP due out this spring via Mad Decent.

Check out the official music video below.
