Thomas Wesley Pentz (born November 10, 1978), better known by his stage name Diplo, is an American DJ, record producer, rapper and songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. He founded and manages record company Mad Decent, as well as co-founding the non-profit organization Heaps Decent. Among other jobs, he has worked as a school teacher in Philadelphia. He is also the co-creator and lead member of the electronic dancehall music project, Major Lazer. His 2013 EP Revolution debuted at number 68 on the US Billboard 200. The song was later featured in a commercial for Hyundai and is featured on the WWE 2K16 soundtrack.
During his rise to fame, Diplo worked with British musician M.I.A., an artist who is credited with giving him exposure in his early career. Later, he and fellow M.I.A. producer Switch created a Jamaican dancehall project and cartoon series titled Major Lazer. Since then, Diplo has worked on production and mixtape projects with many other notable pop artists, such as Die Antwoord, Britney Spears, Madonna, Shakira, Beyoncé, No Doubt, Justin Bieber, Usher, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, CL and G-Dragon. His alias, short for Diplodocus, derives from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs. He is the co-producer of several tracks on Madonna's 2015 album Rebel Heart and he collaborated with Skrillex to create the duo Jack Ü.
Diploë
Diploë (/ˈdɪploʊi/ or DIP-lo-ee) is the spongy bone separating the inner and outer layers of the compact bone of the cranium.
In the cranial bones, the layers of compact tissue are familiarly known as the tables of the skull; the outer one is thick and tough; the inner is thin, dense, and brittle, and hence is termed the vitreous table. The intervening cancellous tissue is called the diploë. In certain regions of the skull this becomes absorbed so as to leave spaces filled with liquid between the two tables.

Re-up
by: Danny BrownUsed to get domed up by crackheads,
And still got my balls licked by pretty bitches,
Sack n the Scottie Pippen's, Kid on the Gotti mission,
But seen his down fall is your best friend snitching
I'm in the kitchen with the mcspoon and lactose,
Rat bitch rubbing on her titties on the row
Nigga come down, listen for the doe,
I know my baby momma bet not call no mo,
Bitch talking Pampers, no she's full of shit,
Impossible for babies 2 take that many shits.
Rapping about bricks but I ain't never seen one,
I think I've seen like three hundred bo's once,
Fuck 'em with 'em addicts, holding automatics...
Dog I ain't lying even served a Dramatic,
Used to bring the lettuce then I had to dead it
Ass tried to song every time he wanted credit
[Chorus:]
And I'm trying to make re-up
Fuck around, put a G-up
And blow a blunt with my man,
See I'm just trying to make re-up.
Fuck around and put a g-up,
And drink a fifth for my niggas,
See, I'm just trying to make a re-up.
Fuck around, put a G-up
And blow a blunt with my man,
See I'm just trying to make re-up.
Fuck around and put a g-up,
And drink a fifth for my niggas!
Christmas every year come faster and faster
New Year come around claim my baby on your taxes.
Dog I kno connects, you middleman taxing,
3 gram dimes of green, u was rocking chloe glasses
Did for the Jordans for what you feel important
I'm 02 my weed increased the dropout rate at northern,
Senior bitches skipping, get em weeded out,
And take her in the back room, my nigga smut em out,
Hoodrat bitches putting blunts in they mouth,
Smoke some weed, order coney time 2 fuck it out,
Rock a fit 4 3 days then go and cop a new one,
Rode a bike to linwood just to give away my ones,
Hopping out the cab and when I step out,
First thing they say I ain't kno them came out,
But nigga I ain't trippin I'm grinding on a few bucks,
Really ballin and I'm trying step it up.
[Chorus:]
And I'm trying to make re-up
Fuck around, put a G-up
And blow a blunt with my man,
See I'm just trying to make re-up.
Fuck around and put a g-up,
And drink a fifth for my niggas,
See, I'm just trying to make a re-up.
Fuck around, put a G-up
And blow a blunt with my man,
See I'm just trying to make re-up.
Fuck around and put a g-up,
