Press Play is the fourth studio album by American hip hop recording artist Diddy. It was released on October 17, 2006, by Bad Boy Records. It was his first album released where he was known by "Diddy" stage name, but he couldn’t legally release albums under Diddy. He had to release Press Play as P. Diddy after a lawsuit from DJ Richard “Diddy” Dearlove,[11] making this his first release distributed by Warner Music Group's Atlantic Records. Press Play features several guest contributions from Nicole Scherzinger, Christina Aguilera, Keyshia Cole, Brandy, Jamie Foxx, Ciara, Nas, Timbaland, Mary J. Blige, CeeLo Green, Keri Hilson, Big Boi, Mario Winans, Avant and Fergie, among others.[10][12] Primarily dance-pop and hip hop-oriented in sound, it is a loose conceptual album that contains the lyrical themes discussing the concerns to the ups and downs of his relationship.[12]
