Imperial: Dirty Money…. For those who don’t know, what is Dirty Money and how did it come about?

Dawn: It’s a movement! I’m excited about it. I’ll keep it short and brief because, you know, I think, the best thing I can tell you guys is to get on the train. It’s amazing, I can say, remember the experience when you went to your first concert, and you left feeling like you spiritually were fulfilled? You felt like, I can actually go on with a better life, like I want to be better because of the music that you just heard? I felt like that when I went to hear Prince. That’s how I feel about this music. I feel like it can change the way music is moving. It can change the way people dance! It can change their everything, their movement. That’s what I feel like Dirty Money is…. And I’m excited about that! ...

Imperial: How has it been working with Diddy on the project-it’s a little different from him looking in from the outside, you’re actually all in a group now.

Dawn: He’s amazing! Like honestly! I’ve never seen someone so in tuned with their brilliance, if that makes sense. He knows exactly his strategy, he knows what he wants, and he’s a visionary. And I appreciate that about him. And it’s so fun to work with him because, there are days when you’re like “Yo, I don’t think I can go on” but he makes you push that extra mile. And because of that, you see greatness in yourself that you never thought you can see.
