kyw.com has video.

"He (Diddy) told me you cannot profit without hard work," said Robinson.

This was a big step for Diddy. He's about to release his first album in five years and the stop at Ben Franklin High School was the first on a national tour.

In addition, Combs will invade the airwaves tomorrow (Sept. 19) with "Diddy Satellite Radio," a two-hour session on XM Radio, and the mogul is slated to appear on various morning shows as part of "Breakfast with Diddy," as well as the nationally-syndicated American Top 40 radio show with Ryan Seacrest.

Here are some more things to think about in regard to that Press Play tracklist:

Are Kanye and Pharrell performing or not? The New York Times article said that "he has recorded with an array of heavyweight friends, including Kanye West, T. I., Pharrell, Jamie Foxx and Big Boi of OutKast." So, from that, it's hard to say. But, if Kanye and Pharrell are on there, they weren't on that tracklist.

WikiPedia's page for "Press Play" has a couple of potentially useful tidbits on it. First, Scar is a male R&B singer signed to Big Boi's label. You can listen to him on their site. This makes sense because the track listing had Scar as appearing on the song that has Big Boi and Ciara on it. So, it's probably not Scarface like I had guessed, even though that would have been good. :)

Next, for the song with "Keri," it links to Keri Hilson who is apparently signed to Timbaland's label and has done some writing for Danity Kane. This also makes sense because Timbaland is a producer (and featured artist) on the album.

Still, though, this tracklist should be regarded carefully and not taken as an absolute. It could be partially true (it's at least partially true) or completely true or simply a work in progress. We'll know soon enough as we are exactly 1 month away from it's release.

CD WOW! has posted a tracklist for Press Play. Here it is:

Testimonial (Intro)
We Gon' Make It featuring Jack Knight
I Am (Interlude)
The Future
Come To Me (Feat. Nicole Scherzinger)
Tell Me (Feat. Christina Aguilera)
Wanna Move (Feat. Big Boi, Ciara & Scar)
Diddy Rock (Feat. Timbaland, Twista & Shawnna)
Claim My Place (Interlude)
Everything I Love (Feat. Nas & Cee-Lo)
Special Feeling (Feat. Mika Lett)
Crazy Thang (Interlude)
After Love (Feat. Keri)
Through The Pain (She Told Me) (Feat. Mario Winans)
Thought You Said (Feat. Brandy)
Last Night (Feat. Keyshia Cole)
Makin' It Hard (Feat. Mary J Blige)
Partners For Life (Feat. Jamie Foxx)

Now, this makes sense (except for a few things, I'll talk about it in a minute). Still, it should be greeted carefully, don't make the assumption that this is final... or even true. But, for the sake of discussion, let's pretend it is true. There are some new guest artists here that we haven't heard much about. Jack Knight, Scar, Mike Lett and Keri. I'm willing to guess that Scar = Scarface. Mike Lett? Keri? I don't know who they are, sorry. Let me know if you do.

As for the things that don't fit: first, there is no "Gettin' Off." Where are Fergie, Avant and Pharoahe Monch (whom Amazon.com lists as a performer)? Avant was supposedly on the Brandy track, so maybe the feature list just isn't complete.

According to Diddy's official MySpace.com page, he called 20 MySpace friends last night. There were two bulletins - one asking for numbers and then a second after he called 20 of them. There will be a video posted of Diddy making the calls, as well.

A press release at the official site mentions that Cee-lo and Twista will be guesting, as well.

Also, just incase you thought Timbaland was just producing tracks... he's also a guest artist.

From the press release:

GRAMMY-WINNING SUPERSTAR HERALDS "PRESS PLAY" WITH COAST-TO-COAST ITINERARY;

"COME TO ME" LEAPING UP CHARTS;

NEW ALBUM - DIDDY'S FIRST IN FIVE YEARS - DROPS OCTOBER 17TH

Bad Boy Records founder, CEO and recording artist Diddy has unveiled plans for a sleepless, event-jammed, cross-country promotional tour heralding the impending arrival of his eagerly awaited new album, "PRESS PLAY," due in stores on October 17th. Beginning September 18th in Philadelphia, Diddy will barnstorm America, traveling to cities from coast-to-coast in an itinerary of marathon endurance.

Included in the non-stop schedule will be special "PRESS PLAY" listening parties hosted by multi-format radio stations in major markets. Throughout the month-long run, Diddy will also be honored by mayors and other local officials. In some cities, Diddy will be awarded the prestigious "Key to the City," while in others, a proclamation of "Diddy Day" will be announced to celebrate his visit.

In addition, the "Press Play" tour will include a series of "Diddy High" events, where he will visit high schools in a number of cities, including Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, Norfolk, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and others. In speaking with students, he will address such themes as "No Excuses," "How To Make It Happen," "Press Play On Your Life," and "Empowerment."

Among the highlights of the promo trek will be "Diddy Satellite Radio," a two-hour session on XM Radio slated for September 19th; "Breakfast with Diddy" extravaganzas at an array of high-profile morning shows; a taping of the nationally syndicated American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest; and a pair of very special "Bad Boy Weekend" events in Atlanta (September 22nd through 24th) and Washington, DC (October 6th through 8th). In every market visited, Diddy will spend time meeting and greeting lucky winners of various station-sponsored contests.

The "PRESS PLAY" promotional tour will wrap up on October 16th with Diddy's return to his home base of New York City. A number of interviews and events are slated for the album's street date, including visits to such influential Big Apple stations as Hot 97, Z100, and Power 105.

There is a schedule at the official site.
