A Major Lazer gig wouldn’t be the same without its hype man.

Skerrit Bwoy was featured in an article in New York’s TimeOut Magazine:

Initially a fringe member (he doesn’t appear on Guns Don’t Kill People or an upcoming EP, Lazers Never Die), Skerrit solidified his role as Major Lazer’s live-show frontman after a memorable turn in the innovative video (directed by Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!) for Guns Don’t Kill People single “Pon De Floor.” In the tradition of the Jamaican sound-system DJ, he is more of a hype man than a proper vocalist. “We can count on him to get the people really crazy,” Diplo says. “When we toured Australia people thought he was Major Lazer, which is pretty cool.”

Major Lazer’s current tour will keep Skerrit on the road in the coming weeks, but New Yorkers willing to trek to out-of-the-way Caribbean clubs in the Bronx and Brooklyn can typically catch him every couple of days. “I can’t tell you the last night I didn’t hit the streets,” Skerrit says. “Even when I’m not partying, I’m partying, man.”
