About M1 Platoon: A love jones for hip-hop is all it took to bring these "newtypes" together- Chopps, Vaughn Garcia, Scoopay, and Sean Diesel as M1 Platoon. Though they have been making their trademark as unorthodox, way out the box rappers in Washington, D.C. all throughout high school, it wasn't until their move to pursue higher learning in NC where things took a better turn with results. M1 moved down south to N.C. Central University where they met Grammy Award winning producer and former NCCU Hip Hop Initiative instructor, 9th Wonder. The platoon quickly took to "uncle 9th" as their mentor, mastering their craft in music production (Vaughn Garcia) and crisp lyricism. During their time in NC, M1 released their debut mixtape titled M1 Invasion, which was followed by two other releases from the We Not Them series, Part 1 & 2. M1 has also had the pleasure of opening up and sharing the stage with: Little Brother, 9th Wonder, Murs, Evidence (Dilated Peoples), Sean Price (Heltah Skeltah) Jean Grae, Chaundon, Skyzoo, Torae, Jozeemo, Median, L.E.G.A.C.Y. and Kooley High. Currently, M1 is currently wrapping up material for their two upcoming releases, Illest In America- which will consist all original content, and Rippin' They Sh*t- which will consist of freestyles over industry beats.
I never watched Doug that much. Sure, I caught it a few times, but it wasn't my speed. However, I do like to hear Carlitta sang so, here is her Christmas gift to all of us. The Doug & Patty EP presented by herself and Vaughn Garcia.
