Diddy's 2006 Atlantic-era album: Come to Me, Tell Me with Christina Aguilera, and a No. 1 return stacked with A-list features.

Press Play was Combs’ big mid-2000s statement after legal and branding noise around the Diddy name—Still Puff as executive host over Just Blaze, Kanye, The Neptunes, Danja, and Timbaland. Come to Me with Nicole Scherzinger and Tell Me with Christina Aguilera led the singles.

Last Night with Keyshia Cole, Everything I Love with Nas and Cee-Lo, and a long midtempo stretch fill a No. 1, Gold-certified album. It is maximal Bad Boy hospitality: everyone famous stops by, the drums stay expensive.
