On
his Twitter,
Diddy shared a couple of free download links to rapper fueled remixes of Dirty Money's "Angels." One features a long opening verse from Aasim and the other features two shorter verses from Lupe Fiasco. Both of them have Biggie's repeated verses removed.
Earlier this month,
Aasim had tweeted that he was working on a remix to "Angels" and just last week
Diddy said that the Lupe remix was on the way. To download, click the links below:

On Wednesday,
Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97 premiered a new remix to Dirty Money's "Love Come Down." The remix featured three new rap verses from Jim Jones, Fabolous and Red Cafe - the Red Cafe verse had
previously been released by itself.
The remix is
now available in our audio player. In addition to the new verses - the remix also removes Diddy's initial rap verse, keeping the shorter, track closing one. I am all over this mix. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments.
Check out our
audio player for the brand new Rick Ross featured remix to Dirty Money's "Angels." The remix is close to the original, except for an opening rap verse from Ross and the removal of Biggie's two, repeating verses. The mix
recently premiered on Hot 97.
Last night on
Hot 97, Funkmaster Flex interviewed Dirty Money and
Diddy mentioned that veteran DJ Ted Smooth would be remixing some tracks for them, but he didn't specify what those tracks were.
On Twitter,
Ted Smooth was kind enough to RT (retweet, which means to pass the message forward on Twitter) the story and so I asked him for some details, which he graciously provided. He
told me that the remixes would be of "Angels" and "Love Come Down," Dirty Money's dueling lead singles. The "Love Come Down" remix will feature Jim Jones, but it
will not be the
remix that Flex played last night that featured Jones alongside Fabolous and Red Cafe. When the remixes are released, we'll have more.
Dirty Money came on Funkmaster Flex's show on
Hot 97 tonight for a great interview and during it, Diddy mentioned that there are remixes of "Angels" coming that feature Rick Ross and Lupe Fiasco. They
played the remix with Rick Ross.
He also shouted out Jim Jones, Fabolous and Red Cafe while talking about the remixes and, sure enough,
they played a remix of "Love Come Down" that featured all three. Finally, he mentioned that some remixes with Ted Smooth are coming "next week."
A very official sounding remix of Dirty Money's "Love Come Down" just premiered on Hot 97. Unfortunately, the
live online stream switched to Usher's "Confessions Pt. 2" at the very start and I missed a chunk of it. I'm not even kidding. But, it came back on and what I did hear was Jim Jones, Fabolous and the Red Cafe verse from the
"Love Come Down" remix in our audio player. When the full version of the track becomes available for online listening, we'll have it.
A remix to Dirty Money's "Angels" featuring Rick Ross premiered on Hot 97 tonight, during Funkmaster Flex's show. It's unclear if the remix is an official remix or just something that Ross threw a verse on as the track was identical to the single version of "Angels," except for an opening verse from Ross and Biggie's second verse removed.
Doug Elfman of the Las Vegas Review-Journal spoke with Diddy when he was in town for the recent Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto boxing match at the MGM Grand. They talked about a handful of random subjects including Diddy's own casino (in the future), the
new flavors of Ciroc,
Joaquin Phoenix's rap efforts and more.
On Wednesday a new Dirty Money track titled "Hurt" featuring a rap verse from Drake leaked online. The supposed source was an upcoming Drake mixtape. Bad Boy apparently did not want the song to be available this early and has been requesting it's removal from various websites.
The song features Diddy singing prominently throughout along with Dawn Richard and Drake coming in for the final verse. Previously,
Diddy had revealed that the Toronto, Canada based rapper would be featured on "Last Train to Paris."
