When you think of dream collaborations, even something like Frank Ocean writing a song with Diplo and The Clash’s Mick Jones and Paul Simonon seems far-fetched. It is, however, something that’s become a reality.

As Pitchfork report, they have teamed up for the next installment of Converse‘s Three Artists, One Song series. A statement from Diplo reads:

“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.”

The song is called “Hero”, streaming below:
