Diddy has been talking about his next album, and he's promising it's going to be his last, as seems to have become the tradition amongst the hip hop top guard. The album should arrive in September, and will feature collaborations with Mary J Blige, Christina Aguilera, Brandy, Busta Rhymes, Nas and Will.I.Am.
He too is going for a fusion of sounds, it seems. He told MTV: "I'm taking from what I've learned from dance music, electro-clash, techno, hip hop, soul and pop, and kind of fusing it together. It's like everything in hip hop is so hardcore with guns and problems and beef, and nobody is being romantic - not in a corny way, but just giving all of yourself. It's still going to have that gangsta vibe to it, but it's a musical journey. It's going to feel good."
