July 24, 2009 Diddy Introduces “Dirty Money”

Diddy_Late_Show_David_Letterman_72309_02

Diddy took to his YouTube channel recently to introduce us all to his new group Dirty Money. The group consists of himself (by the name of Sean, not Diddy), Dawn Richard (formerly of Danity Kane), and newcomer Kalenna. I’m actually interested in hearing what his new sound is for this upcoming Last Train to Paris album (which recently got pushed back to November). In the video he explains where he got the name “Dirty Money” and also addresses a few rumors floating around about the project. It all makes a little more sense now, but I think it’s definitely something I’m going to have to hear to understand.

Get acquainted with Dirty Money after the jump. Also, check out the trailer for Diddy’s new reality show, Making His Band, which premieres next Monday at 10pm ET/PT on MTV. CONTINUE READING

New Music: Whitney Houston – I Look To You

UPDATE: HQ version added!

Fresh off of Whitney’s album release party comes a new track entitled “I Look To You”. The sound quality isn’t that great (it’s similar to the snippet that’s been floating around), but Whitney sounds amazing. I’d be a fool to think her voice is the same as it used to be, but with that said she can still sing circles around a lot of todays R&B females.

Check out the track below and let me know what you think!
