SEAN COMBS - COMBS: BAD BOYS II IS BAD BOYS' SECOND COMING

Rap mogul SEAN 'P DIDDY' COMBS sees his new music project as the "second coming" of his BAD BOY empire - after seeing his fortunes diminish in recent years.

Combs assembled an all-star cast - including JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, BEYONCE KNOWLES, JAY-Z, SNOOP DOGG, 50 CENT and NELLY - to contribute to the soundtrack album of aptly named new movie BAD BOYS II after calling in favours from his extensive musical contact network - and the larger than life impresario believes the LP is a new beginning for his label.

He explains, "I came to them honestly. I said, 'Can you help me out?' When I come back on the scene, I want to come back in a big way with a big soundtrack. I wanted to set it off with a bang."

"I wanted to make sure as I'm coming into my second era. I'm gonna start all over."
