By: Yves Erwin Salomon

Hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is known for rapping on his albums and producing banging beats but on the mogul's new single, "Last Night" featuring Keyshia Cole, he's singing. The duo recently shot a video for the song in Los Angeles and it will be hitting urban video outlets in the coming weeks.

Diddy explained that it's important for him to evolve musically. He said: "Just, just, just evolving, you know evolving and wanting to put things down differently musically. Not follow what was out there so I was trying to make no southern hip hop because that was trendy."

Diddy added: "You know I wasn't trying to follow in the footsteps of anybody. I was just trying to just take all the musical inspirations that I've seen and heard over the years and just do the best I can as a producer."

Diddy's latest album, Press Play, has sold over 500,000 copies since it was released in October.
