There’s been talk, there’s been promotion, heck there’s even been a television show for Diddy’s Diry Money’s Last Train to Paris yet no album. Well according to DJ Felix Da Housecat we have a solid release date for the album. Here’s what he just tweeted:
Boppers support dat lectro blak aka @iamdiddy And cop dat “last train to paris” – 6-22-10!!!! [SOURCE]
So until another pushback is announced, June 22, 2010 it is. A’right, this is an album to look forward to because Press Play was sizzlin’ and from what we’ve heard thus far, we’re intrigued.
UPDATE: Diddy also spoke to MTV about the features on the album:
On Last Train To Paris, Wayne is on the album, Drake is on the album, we’re trying to get Hov [Jay-Z] on the album, trying to get Janelle Monae on the album.
“Everybody that’s on the album, it’s not done in a regular appearance way. It’s done in a unique way that’s authentic. It’s not about a single or album sales. It doesn’t have that behind it.”
He added: “Wayne is on a record that’s called ‘Strobe Lights’. It’s one of the first records where I hear him talking about love and how love has affected him. That’s the type of things I wanted to get out of people if they were on the album.
“I wanted people to get out of their comfort zone and do something that was special. He did the video for me over the weekend. ‘Strobe Lights‘, it’s gonna be tough.” [SOURCE]
Drake, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Janelle Monae, etc… seems like it is about album sales and singles with the exception of Monae. We expect an album for the clubs so we won’t go about this in a pretentious way.
