Diddy giving it away for free on his birthday

Anyone excited for this? Dust off your cassette players and get ready to forget to download Puffy's new "mixtape". And "No Way Out 2"? Finally! Now we just need the sequel to Three Amigos.

Diddy celebrates birthday with release of free music

Sean "Diddy" Combs attends the REVOLT TV upfront presentation at Marquee on April 22, 2014, in New York.

It may be Puff Daddy's birthday, but the music mogul is giving out the gifts: The rapper is planning to release free music on Wednesday.

.

Puff Daddy, born Sean Combs, debuted new music late Tuesday in New York City and announced that a mixtape called "MMM" would be available for free at 7 a.m. ET.

.

He is calling the project "a sonic motion picture" and songs include collaborations with Lil Kim, Future, Wiz Khalifa, Jadakiss, French Montana and others.

.

"Before I used to make records when I made my music. Then I decided to make culture. And as I got older, I decided I'm going to make fashion. Ladies and gentlemen, listen and watch some fashion," Combs told the audience of music industry insiders as well as producer-rapper Swizz Beatz and Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid.

.

The "MMM" artwork features a 1999 photo, taken by Annie Leibovitz, of Combs in Paris with Kate Moss.

.

Combs turned 46 on Wednesday. The Tuesday night event spilled over to Wednesday morning and the crowd wished the Grammy winner a happy birthday.

.

The entrepreneur, who grew up in Harlem, New York, says the new music looks back to his roots. Styles P, Pusha T, Big Sean, Travis Scott, Ty Dolla Sign and King Los are also featured on "MMM," which will be available on Spotify and Apple Music.

.

"This is free everywhere," he said, "that's the beauty about this project for an artist like myself and somebody that's worked so hard to be successful and understand what's going on right now and to embrace it and to learn so much."

.

Combs also announced that his next album, "No Way Out 2," will be his final album when it is released next year. In September Forbes named him the highest-paid rap star. The Harlem, New York, native raked in an estimated $60 million between June 2014 and June 2015 according to Forbes, which tallies investments from both inside and outside the music world.

His contribution to hip hop as an artist has been fusing a dance element to the music, especially in an era when dancing was seen as OVAH. That was a big reason for him lifting familiar records, just like when a DJ is trying to get people on the floor. I will gladly check for No Way Out 2.


Here's his song this year with Pharrell. Give me that feel of Soul Sonic Force.

What up Cinny? I never cared much for Puff as an artist but I did respect his ear back in the 90's for his artists on Bad Boy. What do you think happened to his ability to hear a good hit record? I know he doesn't play jack, but he did approve some hot joints back in Bad Boy's prime. Maybe his heart isn't in it due to the multiple business ventures? idk.

He's delusional.

Mr. Combs might as well give his "shit" way, folks don't buy music no mo'. lol He should be grateful if anyone bothers to listen or uploads it somewhere.

So did the free mixtape with videos for each song ever come out or are we still waiting? If so, does anyone have a link?

I like that its on "hot new hip hop" dot com, just to verify what it actually is, however if it were on "nonsense crap about crap you can't afford" dot com I would probably pass on it still.

falloff at the thread title. I still don't want it. He looks like those balls would be so ashy, you could write your name on them with your fingernail.

Andy is a four letter word.
