Diddy's Next Album "Last Train to Paris"



Diddy's been promising a full-on return to music for a while, and the hip-hop entrepreneur appears to be making his comeback the right way, by hyping the release of his upcoming Last Train to Paris album with a mixtape that dropped in August.

Diddy announced the tape — produced by famed Chicago remixer Felix Da Housecat (Britney Spears, Ciara, Madonna) and released in August — with a tweet in which he bragged, "Lectro Black is my dance music alter ego!!! Mr. Lectro Black is a bad mother----er!!! Close your eyes and jump!"

The electro-house mix is precisely what Diddy has been teasing for more than a year, with a Kanye-like mix of rapping and singing and a fervent promise from the Bad Boy boss on the thumping intro that, "We are the crush groovin', the body movin', the record makin' and the record breakin'. We go by the name of 'Lectro Black and we represent that dirty, dirty. We represent that electro, that funk, that hip-hop, that punk rock, the dirty, dirty. We ain't into that commercial, crowd pleasin' ass-kissin' DJ, 'throw yo hands in the air, wave 'em like you just don't care' sh--! We want your mind, we want your body, and we came to take your mother----in' soul!"

Last Train to Paris is the upcoming fifth solo studio album by American rapper Diddy and is scheduled to be released in November 24, 2009, on Bad Boy Records. In April 2009, with Dawn Richard of Danity Kane and singer Kalenna, Diddy formed the group Dirty Money, which will perform on this album.

Diddy describes Last Train to Paris as an "electro-hip-hop-soul funk" album; it is scheduled to be released in November 2009. The arc will follow Diddy's character as he tours from London to Paris and finds the woman of his dreams - only to lose her, find her, lose her again and find her a final time. Under the group name Dirty Money, Diddy will work with Dawn Richard of Danity Kane and another singer/writer named Kalenna Harper . Diddy also released an application for the iPhone that integrates his social networking site and Twitter feed. A short film will also accompany the album. As of September 2nd 2009, "Love Come Down", which samples "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" by Jay-Z, and "Angels", which features Notorious B.I.G. and a sample from "Where I'm From",also by Jay-Z, are the only confirmed tracks on the album. Sacario has also wrote two songs for Diddy.
