The track listing for Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris," due in stores on December 14, has finally been released (
care of Amazon.com and via
HipHop-N-More) and with it, some surprises and some new tracks that we hadn't previously heard of. I have also been able to confirm some additional guest appearances with a source at the label.
Despite
persistent reports, Jay-Z is not among those featured artists. Nor is T-Pain, Rick Ross or Nicki Minaj. Previously, Diddy
had said that they would be. However, the "Angels" preview
available on Amazon.com has Rick Ross on the version included on the album, so it is possible that he may make the cut in that manner.
"Love Come Down," one of the group's initial dueling singles, with "Angels, does not appear. Meanwhile, "Lookin for Love,"
initially thought to be an Usher record is actually a Dirty Money record featuring Usher. This leads me to believe that the
version of the record that was released online may not be the final cut.
This exact same happened with another track:
"Curse," thought to be a Chris Brown record featuring Diddy, appeared online in June. It is also a Dirty Money record, featuring Chris Brown and titled "Yesterday." This is confirmed by the
snippets available on Amazon.com.

Here's an even better version of
Dirty Money's "Coming Home" music video. It's in 1080P HD at the proper aspect ration. It's also the dirty version of the record.
According to
Janelle Monae's website, Monae will appear on National Public Radio's "World Cafe" on December 22. You can
find your local station on their website or
listen to the WXPN Philadelphia livestream from 2 PM ET to 4 PM ET.
According to
Diddy's Twitter, he will begin a "Last Train to Paris" promotional campaign with
Flip Video on Wednesday. That is all that is known at this point.
According to
Diddy's Twitter, three Dirty Money songs will be released to DJs tomorrow - "Strobe Lights," "A** on the Floor" and "Someone to Love Me."
An unfinished copy of "Strobe Lights," which features Lil' Wayne,
appeared online in January while "A** on the Floor" was
released online on Monday by Swizz Beatz, who is featured on the song.
A
music video was shot for the third song, "Someone to Love Me," in September of 2009.
As I reported on Sunday
Janelle Monae is participating in the "Digital Life Sacrifice" from Keep a Child Alive, a charity co-founded by Alicia Keys.
Essentially, Monae, Keys, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Elijah Wood, Serena Williams, Swizz Beatz and others will be logging off of Twitter and Facebook until, hopefully, $1 million donations are reached. The donations will benefit families dealing with HIV/AIDS in Africa and India.
Below, check out her last tweet and testament.
For more information,
check out Monae's page on the Digital Death website. As I write, donations are at $1,010.
Check out the clip below for some behind the scenes at the Fabolous video shoot for "You Be Killin Em" from
IndustryMuscle.com. Fabolous isn't in the clip, as it mainly follows Ciroc National Director of Promotions Nick Storm. Presumably, Ciroc is sponsoring the video in some way.
