There's not a whole lot that's newsworthy in the pieces, that we haven't heard or covered before. Diddy talks about the music, the group and U.K. hip-hop.

Indy: But I mean, they literally believe there's a place called Palace of the Dogs.
JM: There is a place called Palace of the Dogs. It's very true.
Indy: Where is it?
JM: I cannot give you the coordinates as I would be in breach of contract, because I did study there, I lived there. What you'll see with the videos —we're going to shoot a visual for every single song — and the narrative will take place at the Palace of the Dogs. So you'll have to wait until the videos are released to actually know more about the Palace of the Dogs. But it is a physical place.

In an interview with MTV's Shaheem Reid, Black Rob took responsibility for his lack of albums over the years and revealed that he'll be doing five volumes of his "Game Tested, Street Approved" mixtape. After that, he says that they'll release an album in the first or second quarter of next year, titled "Losing's Not an Option." Check out the clip below.
"I'mma tell you like this," Rob told Mixtape Daily. "I'm blaming myself for that. I wasn't focused. I was running around wild-style. I'm out of town. I'm [telling my label]: 'I'm never coming back to New York.' I didn't have the work ethic that I have right now. If I had the work ethic that I have right now, I'd probably be 10 albums deep. But things happen. We not gonna cry over it. One thing I do know is that the two albums I did put out, they solidified my name and a brand. Therefore, I can come home and do it again. Those two albums left the door wide-open. Like, 'B.R. is nasty. He can come right back.' Not too many people can do what I'm doing right now. Come back home after doing four joints, five joints and pop off again," the rapper said, referring to his time behind bars. "This is a testament right now."

On Sunday, I mentioned a new Dirty Money record that had appeared online, "I Want Your Love." Listen to it now at AllHipHop.com.
It features some intro ad-libs from Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, indicating that he produced it. Diddy's verse is an homage of sorts to Debbie Harry's performance with Blondie on the song "Rapture." The track itself relies on a heavy sample of The Golden Filter's "Favourite Things."
I love this record. Great three verse performance from the trio and Diddy's verse is solid at the end. Just makes me more excited for the diversity that is "Last Train to Paris."
According to the Diddy/Dirty Money websiteDiddy/Dirty Money website, Diddy will be on ABC's "Nightline" tonight at 11:35 PM ET.
But, on their website, they already have the text feature available. It's a long interview conducted by Martin Bashir. Definitely worth reading. There is also a clip from the interview and a behind the scenes clip. Check those out below.
