The latest project

hit stores today on Bad Boy Records/Warner Music Group.
The album features appearances from the biggest names in Hip-Hop
including Jay-Z, Eminem, 2Pac, Big Pun, Nelly, Ludacris and others.
“It’s a true representation of the love that people
have for B.I.G. and his artistry,” Bad Boy CEO Sean “Diddy”
Combs told AllHipHop.com. “I think that it shows that in the people who
have come out to be on the album, and even now in his rhymes that you hear so
many years later—he’s still the greatest.”
In addition to the A-list guest appearances, the album boasts
productions from Scott Storch, Jazze Pha, Havoc, Just Blaze and others.
“There are some artists that spit some of their best verses
in their lives on this album,” Combs continued. “People stepped
up incredibly.”
The first single off the Duets album is “Nasty
Girl” featuring Diddy, Nellly, Jagged Edge and Avery Storm.
In related news, Combs will be featured in a new commercial
