Whether he is going by Diddy, Puff Daddy, or simply Puffy, the name(s) have been synonymous in hip-hop for twenty plus years. The Bad Boy founder has always found ways to reinvent himself and it is no different on his new mixtape MMM. The mixtape is an acronym for Money Makin Mitch. This was one of the main characters in the 90's classic Paid in Full. MMM has 13 songs with features from Pusha T, Ty Dolla Sign, King Los, and more
The first track is titled Facts which showcases one of Diddy's many attributes, his speaking. Diddy has a way of capturing the moment through his linguistics. He speaks of how Mitch in the movie embodied the hustler spirit. That abruptly goes into Harlem (Diddy's home borrough), featuring a relatively unknown MC named Gizzle. Track 5 titled Everyday features Styles P, Jadakiss, and Pusha T. Its a gritty song which shows Pusha T absolutely stealing the show. He raps "I'm tryna find peace for the love of my brother/Who dodged the white powder, I couldn't, I'm covered/The price of bloood diamonds is killing our cousins/While high blood sugar just killing my mother. Future rears his face on the mixtape with King Los on MMM which is a collabing first for the two. The two standout tracks are Workin and Blow a Check in my opinion.
My favorite cut on the tape is Workin feat, Big Sean, and Travis Scott. Whoever wrote for Diddy; job well done, Travis Scott adds some flavor and sets up Big Sean to do what he does best. That would be boding verses.
Overall I believe this is a very solid tape and is a good lead up for Diddy's last album No Way Out 2.
Overall Rating: 7 out of 10
