Mr Lexx

Mr Lexx is about to break into a new area code on the back of his song, Hold the Line.

The single that features American singer Santigold and was produced by Major Lazer is to be aired on Beverly Hills 90210: The Next Generation, a reincarnation of the original series that ran from 1990 to 2000 and was produced by late Hollywood mogul Aaron Spelling.

The show follows the lives of a group of teenagers living in the upscale, star-studded community of Beverly Hills, California. The '90210' in the title refers to the city's ZIP code. The Next Generation airs on the relatively new CW network, the same network that airs the popular Smallville series.

The single was selected by a music supervisor on the production team for the current series to be included on the soundtrack for Season 2 of 90210 and the process is being monitored by Greensleeves Publishing.

However, there is no word yet on the air date of the episode in which the song will be used.

Non-traditional tune

The accompanying video to the song, that has been described by industry insiders as a non-traditional dancehall tune, was nominated in the 'Breakthrough Video' category of the MTV Video Music Awards that were aired on September 13 this year.

Meanwhile Mr Lexx, who has been busy touring, recently concluded a tour with Santigold, who has recorded with such artistes as Jay-Z, Pharrell and Kanye West.
