Diddy is gearing up to release a high concept album which he has already entitled Last Train to Paris. The album will be the follow-up to his Press Play LP which was released in 2006. The album is set to be released on September 22nd and will also include a short film. Diddy said of his high concept project to MTV ‘It's a profound love story, man. It's about this tumultuous love roller-coaster relationship that occurs. It's everything from love, pain, sex, God, celebration. It's a lot of things rolled into one. It's a conceptual album. One of the things, I wanna give you that's not out there yet is that it's not me as a solo artist. A movie is going to be shot to it too. It's definitely going be an album you can seamlessly see. Not after the fact. When you get the album on that day, September 22, you will be able to see the whole album on your computer. I go into production of the movie in May’. Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, the Neptunes, T-Pain, Mario Winans and The Dream are just a few of the people who will be working on the project with the mogul.
