Bad Boy Reggae/Dancehall......

Diddy says he plans to sign more reggae/dancehall artistes to his Bad Boy Entertainment label, after seeing the potential of Elephant Man. Diddy says he wants to work with more dancehall acts and seems confident that dancehall music has the potential to reach higher heights. "The dancehall audience is a worldwide audience," he said. "We love the music and we have to give the reggae artistes an avenue to express themselves through Bad Boy Entertainment." The hip hop impresario who recently joined heads with one of dancehall's most energetic acts, Elephant Man, describes Ele as "one of the greatest entertainers in his genre of music." "When I saw him at Madison Square Garden ripping down the stage, I knew that he was the one. He will be a great addition to our team," Diddy said. An overjoyed Elephant Man plans to release his new album in the spring of 2007. His album was to have been released in summer of 2006 but was delayed due to the deal with Bad Boy. As a part of the Bad Boy family, Ele is currently working on a remix with Diddy for his upcoming album and he will accompany Diddy on tour for his new album Press Play. Ele's first performance on the tour will be in Connecticut with Diddy and fellow rap artiste Ludacris. He has further cemented his position by doing a collaboration with Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussy Cat Dolls for the song Come Gimme. "Puffy requested the remix, him want me on it. Me and dem have that kind of relationship. He's even planning on calling an official press conference, but him doing his own promotions first," said Elephant Man. Elephant Man maintains that he will continue doing the brand of dancehall music that has signified his style. He claims that Bad Boy signed him knowing he did dancehall music and that it has potential. He doesn't plan to change
