It's That Dirty Money!


before you read this... watch the video.
or at least listen to the song. if you are from NY, you will most likely love this song (well i know i do. lol.) with a few bars from B.I.G and this crazy beat, this makes the song a quick favorite for a brooklyn kid like me. now before i begin.. i'm gonna go ahead and state the obvious: the verses sound about 87% 808s and Heartbreak. anyway tho, i'm in love with this song. you should know about (or atleast have heard about) Dirty Money, unless you don't have internet or something. Dirty Money is a group formed by Diddy, which, consists of himself, Dawn Richards (to be known from this point as: Neon), and Kalenna aka Flux. now.. for anybody that knows me personally, you would know that Dawn is my mistress. yep, runner-up, right after Rihanna. I'm not going to go into detail about Neon, because everybody who has watched MTV (which Diddy must own by now) within the past 5-6 years should know by now who she is and why she's the only one that didn't get her contract ripped up. but Kalenna, or Flux as she is referred to when speaking of Dirty Money, is the other girl in that pic over there.. yea, the one in the Lou's (who-wee!). idk that much about her, but she must be doing something behind the scenes to end up in such a group. (y'all nasty! she ain't fckn him or nothin. lmao.) my guess is that she has been in Diddy's camp for a while as either a writer or someone who does good harmonies and is great for backup vocals. eh, idk, but she's alright with me for now. Diddy's latest release "Angels" is the second single to be leaked from the upcoming album Last Train to Paris which, according to his official myspace, is set to be released: September 22, 2009 (my bday is 9/25.. birthday gift? :]). this song is a good way to show the variety that you will get with this album. most people were thinking the album would be a bunch of crazy, pop, electrofunk -ness, but this shows that there will be something for everyone. i think this single also shows how diddy could utilize autotune to his advantage by not trying to OD with his "vocals" and even though he is not a singer, it sounds very good. i was impressed when i was watching his show on MTV and they showed him in the studio recording this song. so far my iTunes says i've played the song 23 times already. thats almost at the amount of plays the previous single "Love Come Down" has. this track shows that crazy, pop, electrofunk -ness but in a good way. i'm pleased, and i can't wait to get the CD.
