First mixtape by Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs, who releases new solo material nine years after the last time. The production features The Hitmen, Harry Fraud, Mike Will Made It, Honorable CNOTE and 88-Keys, among others. The guests are Lil' Kim, French Montana, Big Sean, Styles P, Jadakiss, Pusha T, King Los, Future, Wiz Khalifa, Travis Scott, Gizzle, Sevyn, Tish, Ty Dolla Sign, Brucie B and Zoey Dollaz.
The album is East Coast glossy and has its good moments, barring the excessive presence of French Montana in the second part. The whole middle section with the guests is quite good, LOX & Pusha T bring out the best track ("Everyday") and the following are noteworthy. Then the tape seems to lose importance after "Workin'". Distributed by Epic, it crosses up to box 23 of the rap chart. Not recommended, although it's arguably one of the Bad Boy founder's best projects. 5/10.
