Aside from causing controversy with his new cologne ad, Sean “Diddy” Combs is working on a new album set to hit record stores later this year.
His last album was 1999’s “Forever”. The still untitled album marks the Bad Boy figure head’s return.
According to sources, Diddy will try to back the album up with a tour as he signed with the William Morris Agency, who is looking to have Combs hit European festivals and other venues.
The Game is also been hitting the lab trying to create The Doctor’s Advocate, which is said to reach the streets on 06/06/06. Producers already tied down to the project include Kanye West, Just Blaze, Timbaland and of course Dr. Dre.
In other news, LA Underground act The Visionaries is also ready to release new material. Their fourth LP We’re The Ones (We’ve Been Waiting For) will also be released later this year, with help from fans and supporters.
According to a statement the crew released, fans can be a part of the album simply by submitting photographs at upabove.com. The Visionaries will create a photo mosaic of their fans to construct their logo on the front cover of the up-coming LP.
Finally, another album on the way is the heavily delayed In My Mind by The Neptune’s Pharrell Williams.
After teasing fans with the release of a first single Can I Have It Like That with Gwen Stefani, Skateboard P is finally done and ready to release his disc. According to reports, the roster on the album includes star-studded guest spots from Jigga, Slim Thug, Daddy Yankee and Pusha T of The Clipse.
After saying Williams’ album is finished, his partner Chad Hugo also told MTV that The Clipse and N.E.R.D will return later this year or early next year.
