Earlier this summer, Diddy received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022 BET Awards, and the honor couldn't have been bestowed upon him at a better time. The 52-year-old Hip-Hop executive and producer is on the precipice of a significant moment in his career — the 25th anniversary of his debut studio album, No Way Out.
No Way Out, which was originally released on Bad Boy Records on July 22, 1997, will turn 25 years old this Friday, and according to HipHop-N-More, Diddy will celebrate the anniversary of his debut studio album in style.
On Friday, July 22, Diddy is set to share a special expanded version of No Way Out with an additional 15 rare tracks, including remixes, radio mixes, and instrumentals. Those hoping to grab a physical copy of the classic album are in luck too, as a white 2-LP version of No Way Out will be released later this year on November 4. Lastly, some of No Way Out's most iconic music videos — from "Been Around The World" to "All About The Benjamins (Remix)" — will slowly tricky out over the course of 2022.
