Earlier this month, in an interview with Pulse Radio, house and electronic-focused music producer Guy Gerber revealed that he just finished a collaborative album with Diddy. He said that the album would be "more electronic music," as opposed to "deep house" or "clubby" music.
During a recent live chat on The Sun's website, Diddy was asked if he had any more grime music ventures planned. He answered that the group had just completed a collaboration with U.K. rapper and producer Wiley for "A** on the Floor" (in the chat, he referred to it as "Ar** on the Floor," a nod to the U.K. audience).
Within the half hour, DJ, artist and producer Clinton Sparks posted the track up for free download, revealing that he and DJ Snake had produced it. I like the record a lot - let me know what you think about it in the comments.
Outside of some solo footage of Red Cafe, the video is primarily compromised of performance clips that don't sync with the record. A portion of this footage features Diddy. Watch below.
According to reports by the AP and TV Guide's William Keck, Diddy will appear as a guest star on an episode of the CBS television show "Hawaii Five-0."
He will play Reggie Williams, an NYPD detective who travels to Honolulu, Hawaii in order to pursue men who were responsible for a crime against his family. But, in doing so, he enters the sights of the, well, five-0.
In addition, music performed by Diddy will be featured throughout the episode, which will air this spring.
Here are Bad Boy's positions on the most recent Billboard U.S. album and single charts, released today. Dirty Money's "Coming Home" is still going strong, gaining on most charts, including new highs on five different charts. Among those is the Hot 100, where it now rests at #13.

Joseph Patterson of MTV UK's The Wrap Up filed a story from the London listening party for Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" last Thursday. It's interesting to read, from this side of the pond, how much it means for Diddy to co-sign some of the U.K. hip hop artists. Diddy introduced Skepta, Chipmunk, Tinchy Stryder and Wretch 32 to the audience as Team U.K.
Last year, Skepta and Stryder both appeared on remixes to Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning."
