Diddy doesn't usually do the whole mixtape thing, but as he gears up for his upcoming Last Train to Paris album, he figured why not?

Over the weekend on Saturday (August 15), Diddy dropped a mixtape called Lectro Black with Chicago remixer Felix Da Housecat.

Via a tweet, Diddy explained that Lectro Black is his alter-ego: "Lectro Black is my dance music alter ego!!! Mr. Lectro Black is a bad motherf***er!!! Close your eyes and jump!"

The tape, according to MTVNews.com, "is an hour of LCD Soundsystem-style throbbing club beats with a mix of Diddy's patented swaggering boasts, some auto-tune-tweaked singing and talking, and even a bit of breathless pleading."

Diddy promises, "I'll blow ya mind ... you will be mine!"

It's just a sample of what to expect from his upcoming conceptual Last Train to Paris album, which Diddy has described as an emotional journey from London to France's capital, during which he falls in and out of love with a mysterious lady.

"Can you hear the train? Last Train to Paris is comin' soon. ... Don't be confused. It's simple. 'Lectro Black ... I'm gonna f*** your mind up. I'm gonna take you to a place you're scared to go to. I'm gonna make you feel good. So this is what we call a warning shot," Diddy warns on the mixtape.

In a recent vlog, the Bad Boy Records mogul revealed that he put together a crew called Dirty Money, comprised of former Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard and songwriter Kaleena Harper, to help him craft the album.
