Bad Boy
mogul tapped to help steer Mastermind ship. Diddy
has good reason why he's been spending so much time in the
studiowith Rick Ross lately. The Bad Boy Records founder
is set to co-executive produce Rozay's sixth studio album, Mastermind.Although he was originally said to be
mixing the release, Diddy is more than qualified to sit in the producer seat.
In addition to a successful solo career, his production credits include the
likes of Jay Z, Beyoncé,
Aretha Franklin,Janet
Jackson,
Mariah Carey and more.
The Grammy winner also brings over 20
years of music industry experience to the table, and is lauded in hip hop for
his work with the late Notorious B.I.G.
“Diddy is one of the greatest
producers of all time and someone I respect," Ross said in a statement to
BET.com. "He has a proven track record of not only creating hit
records but also classic albums. It just made sense for me to have him be a
part of this process."
From the looks of it, Ross is close to
making the "classic" album he talked about in an
interview late last year. Aside from Diddy's input the LP will feature
collaborations with Jay ("The Devil Is a Lie") and Jeezy ("War Ready").
Earlier today Ross debuted a new video
teaser titled "4 AM in Atlanta," and previously unveiled
standard- and deluxe-edition album artwork last month.
Mastermind drops March 4.
