According to Combs, Diddy-Dirty Money is "a look, a sound, a movement, [and] a crew" and not about "drug money, illegal money, or anything negative...for my new concept album Last Train to Paris, I wanted to do something refreshing, something unique, something forward for myself as an artist...I wanted to tell a love story [but] I couldn't just tell the male's point of view."[2] Bad Boy A&R Daniel 'Skid' Mitchell told HitQuarters that Diddy-Dirty Money is creating a new genre of "futuristic soul".[3]
The group's first album, Last Train to Paris was released in December 2010.[4] Allmusic called it a "heavily European-influenced effort" that "mashes together Italo-disco, pop-rap, tech-house, and the sound of Bad Boy in its prime, with an all-star guest list that goes from T.I. to Grace Jones."[5]
On July 24, 2010, Diddy-Dirty Money performed at Sun Life Stadium in the Baker Concrete Super Saturday postgame concert following the Florida Marlins' 10-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
