"Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win," Beastie Boys' collaboration with Santigold on the group's recent Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, is engineered to be a summer jam of the highest order with reggae tones, hard beats and a fluid shift between catchy vocal melodies and nasally New York rap. Near perfect as an original, Major Lazer interject here to make sure the mix is tailored for the dance floor, building on the Beasties' beat to create a chaotic reggaeton-tinged version that finds all involved artists in their finest element. It's like they just flew the track from New York City to the Dominican Republic and went about business as usual.
