The track Hold the line by Lexxus and American singer Santigold has been nominated for the MTV Music Video Awards, in the "Breakthrough" category. The ceremony will be held on 13 September in New York and the competition looks tough.
The track is in fact the first single from the Major Lazer project, "Guns don't kill people, lazers do".
