Dawn Richard - December Sky

Produced By: Druski
Label: Bad Boy Records

Bad Boy recording artist Dawn Richard premieres her new love-ting single "December Sky," giving fans a treat for the holiday season.

"A lot of people won’t be able to see their loved ones this Christmas,” Dawn told Rap-Up.com. “Whether they are serving in Iraq/Iran, in the industry, or working a 9 to 5, the truth is a lot of us aren’t able to make it home for the holidays. So this record is for them and anyone else missing their love—the sky and stars are a gift for us both because no matter how far apart we are, we are under the same sky.”

In 2009, Richard began working with Bad Boy Records, writing for artist Cassie and Combs himself. Soon after Danity Kane's breakup, Richard was featured in a commercial on the opposition of California's Prop 8. Richard has now become a member of another group called Diddy-Dirty Money, which includes Combs and singer/songwriter Kalenna Harper. The band have been recently working heavily on Diddy's new album Last Train to Paris. They have released three singles to date. Angels was the bands debut single, it was officially released on November 3. The band's second single Love Come Down was released on the same day. The band's third single "Hello Good Morning" featured rapper T.I. and was released on March 30, 2010. She did an apparition in Keri Hilson's video for "The Way You Love Me" as "Money". She is the first member of Danity Kane to have released professional music under a major label after their split, with the Dirty Money album.
