Watch Diplo’s ‘Suicidal’ Video Feat. Desiigner

Diplo

Following the release of his new California EP, Diplo has dropped a visual for the project’s Desiigner-assisted track, “Suicidal.” The video follows the two artists and other characters as they wander through neon-lit streets.

Diplo described the introspective track on social media:

“desiigner came over for a few days and just locked in on that beat.. we wrote a scratch and then a few months later cut the vocal and we had a good track. for me its a sort of compromise between some of my favorite producers like Flume and Mura masa and a real hip hop energy that desiigner brings.”

In terms of commercial success, the song is currently No. 26 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

Now, a month after its release, there are plenty of remixes of “Magenta Riddim” to choose from. Here are our favorites so far:
