This time around Puff Daddy and the family take us on a trip to the auction. “Auction” is the newest single off Puffy’s “MMM” album he released back in November of 2015 on his birthday.  It trails the previous single and video “Blow A Check” that features French Montana and Zoey Dollar hi-jacking the Bad Boy office.

However, this go round, the Bad Boy crew gathers together in all black like the omen for the Hype Williams directed video.  The 90’s inspired video has them doing their performance with a white backdrop, with Lil Kim sitting front and center.  “Auction” is another video Puffy joined forces with Hype for. He has also directed the other video for the album as well (Workin.)

Puffy has been busy in the studio putting the finishing touches on the highly anticipated “No Way Out 2,” which is the sequel to his 1997 ht album.  As we wait for the new studio album we’ll just anticipate the rumors of the Bad Boy crew embarking on reunion tour.  Following last years BET Awards where the Bad Boy roster took the stage to celebrate 20 years in the industry.  Rumors sparked that the label who formally held acts such as Faith Evans, 112, Total, and The Lox, were going to hit the road for a reunion tour with Lil Kim and new Bad Boy members as an addition.  As no official dates have yet to be issued, the talk is still circulating as if the tour may lead up to the release of “No Way Out 2.“

We all know Puffy has more than enough money to burn.

The Bad Boy mogul shows us how to run through the money in the visual for “Blow A Check” off his 2015 MMM project. Surrounded by women as he sets fire to 100 dollar bills before being chased by women in the streets, in true Diddy form. Later he and French have an office party in the Combs business office.

Throughout the creative process of concocting his latest body of work “MMM,” best believe Diddy had the camera rolling every step of the way. Throughout the documentary, you hear Puff constantly reiterating the mantra of performing at a high level over anything. “This brand right here f*cks with the best, or we do nothing!,” Puff exclaims in the opening minutes of the video. In the documentary, you see everything that characterizes him to this day; motivational monologues, Diddy-bops, and him running the floor like your favorite point guard to create “MMM.”

It’s no secret that at one point in time, Diddy’s production team, The Hitmen, which consisted of producers like Deric ‘D-Dot’ Angelettie, Mario Winans, and Steven Jordan (or Stevie J, depending on how much VH1 you watch) had music on lock, pumping out hit song after hit song. With the upcoming release of his new album MMM, or Money Making Mitch, Diddy recently took to Instagram to announce that he’s getting the band back together. 

The only difference, however, is the revamped version of The Hitmen will now see Kanye West as its newest member. 

 The Hitmen were already a crazy squad without Kanye. So it will be interesting to see what they cook up now that he’s on board.
