Converse's "Three Artists, One Song" series has announced that Frank Ocean, Diplo and the Clash's Mick Jones and Paul Simonon will team up for their latest installment on a song called "Hero." The track will become available March 10 via Converse's Tumblr, Pitchfork reports.
In the past, the series has brought together artists including Gorillaz, James Murphy and Andre 3000; Best Coast, Rostam Batmanglij and Kid Cudi; Matt & Kim, Andrew W.K. and Soulja Boy; Julian Casablancas, Pharrell and Santigold; Hot Chip, Bernard Sumner and Hot City.
In a statement about the collaboration, Diplo said:
"The Clash were always teachers to me, even before I shared a studio with Paul and Mick. Their musical anarchy and constant attitude to disregard rules and forge their own path was inspirational to me. They meant death to genres, music and message above everything. Frank lives by the same creed in being married to his vision and seeing it through at any cost. We had to challenge each other to make something that we hope no one could expect and Converse valued everyone's artistic freedom to let us shine throughout the past few months to make this thing happen."
