Ten years later and ‘Last Train To Paris’ remains the most progressive body of work of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ career. As his fifth studio album, Diddy recruited Dawn Richard from his Making The Band act - Danity Kane, along with Kalenna Harper to create “a look, a sound, a movement, [and] a crew. - Diddy stated that with this concept, he wanted something refreshing, something unique, something forward for himself as an artist; a love story.

Released on December 14, 2010; the album which included guest features Grace Jones, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Skylar Grey, Drake, Justin Timberlake, Nicki Minaj, T.I., Wiz Khalifa, Swizz Beatz, Trey Songz, Rick Ross, Usher, Sevyn Streeter, James Fauntleroy, Bilal and The Notorious B.I.G. spawned the singles “Love Come Down,” "Angels," "Hello Good Morning," "Loving You No More," "Coming Home," "Your Love," and "Ass on the Floor."

Debuting at No. 7 on the US Billboard 200 with 101,000 copies sold in its first week of release, Last Train To Paris would push Dirty Money to winning a BET Award for Best Group in 2011. The group would disband in 2012 with Harper and Dawn both going on to pursue other musical endeavors individually.
