ENTER the M1-Platoon: Mobile Suit-Gundam

2009-11-10T20:30:00.000-08:00

in the show MS-GUNDAM newtypes are special people who are born with accelerated physical and mental learning capabilities with a hightened sense of intuition... the show takes place in an age where earth & outter space colonies are at war... they fight on earth & space using spaceships tanks, guns, lazers, beamswords ect.. and huge human shaped robots called mobile suits.. Newtypes at this point due to their accelerated learning(computers, computer software & programs) can piolot gundams...

gundams are mobile suits that have special weapons, engines, armor and may have special advantages in a battle like radar invisibility or a cpu program in the cockpit to help the piolots intuition on the feild of battle..

newtypes can sense eachother on and off the battlefeild.. their mental intuition shows itself as a white lightning bolt comming from their heads with a sound effect to let the viewer know a connection is being made from one newtype to another... some newtypes can hold non-verbal mental conversations from yards away... the conversation may take 15 minutes, while in reality it was just a flash of an eye.

the combination of a gundam in any warcraft and a gundam is a formidable opponent on the battle feild...

in this snippet of Mobile Suit Gundam, 2 newtype friends who happen to be in the oppisite army,(Amuro & LaLa) meet on the battle field and get entangled in a newtype conversation... Capitan Char, who is also a newtype, is unaware of their friendship and beives that Amuro is trying to kill LaLa... LaLa sheilds Char from Amuro's attack and it kills her on accident...

yea... scoopay will be on it next summer!!!

CARLITTA DURAND + VAUGHN GARCIA (NEW EP COMING SOON)

2009-11-08T08:46:00.000-08:00

Ever since I met Carlitta in like 07', we have always shared some crazy musical ideas. When M1_Platoon formed that year in a lil APT in Campus Crossing, Carlitta and I also did our first song called "Galaxy 19". Her singing style always made my beats more "flowy" and "airy". spaced shit. And My production stye always made us both think outside of the box, writting about topics like losing love, all the way to topics like how a loney actress feels when she comes off the set. Its a there. a coupe days ago, me and Caritta REALLY decided to create something unique and original.

Taking chief inspirations from the R&B styles of producer Timberland and late great singer Aaliyah, we plan to go in as straight producer/singer..damaging the game.

Coming in December..

PS: Leave comments, AND IDEAS FOR THE TITLE OF THE EP!!

East coast artist collaborate for a creative summer tour

2009-07-02T08:37:00.000-07:00

(July 2, 2009)--- Hot weather and hot music simply go together. With that, M1 Platoon wants to set your summer right by bringing you some of the best music you've never heard for the Generation Next tour.

Featuring some of the hottest up-and coming acts such as G-5 Clive, Carlitta Durand and Fat Snacks, GENERATION NEXT will provide an eclectic mix of hip-hop, r&b and jazz to open your world to a "new type" of sound.
M1 Platoon, hailing from the DMV collectively embody the essence of classic hip-hop groups with the youth of the present and hope of the future. Heavily influenced by reggae, go-go, rap and soul, the steam coming from their music burns through any stereo!

Carlitta Durand's talent goes without question as her sound is reminiscent of the be-bop sound of the Harlem Renaissance mixed with hip-hop rocks! Her current work with Phonte of Little Brother and Nicolay depict her promising future.

Fat Snacks, a band whose members perform all around the country, provide an interesting contrast as they adapt to any musical sound, having the ability to range their guitar chords and drum sticks between hip-hop jazz, rock, scat and soul.

Special performing acts such as FSR, G5 Clive and Phocuz will bring an element from the city they'll be representing. Check out their pages on Facebook!

M1 Platoon launches Phase II of "Put It On You Hard" campaign
Group challenges fans to show how they represent the music

(June 6, 2009) Imagine how Mike Epps felt when he laid out his school clothes and told everyone "Imma kill'em in the morning!" Feeling pretty hyped, right? This is the feeling that M1 Platoon portrays through their single, "Put It On You Hard." The DMV-based hip-hop group invites you on a summer night in DC with the sound of cool air, concrete and carefree swag...but on the listener's terms.

Phase II invites fans to represent how they would "put it on you hard" by recording a short video clip at their favorite spot, hanging with their favorite folks, or just getting fresh to be best dressed...for whatever!

Listeners can simply record their video and upload to YouTube with the title "(Insert Name Here) can "Put It On You Hard"!!! Easy as that. Or email it to m1platoon@gmail.com.

Videos will then be posted on M1 Platoons main blogsite, http://www.m1platoon.blogspot.com. Check out Danny Miles's video clip that was made to the song "Swagidout" from M1 Platoon's latest mixtape, "We Not Them pt. II- All 4 U" .

Participants are encouraged to share videos via Facebook, Digg, Twitter, Myspace, etc.

M1 Platoon looks to release their 5th mixtape, "We Not Them pt. III" at the end of the summer.

M1 Platoon launches "Put It On You Hard" campaign
DC hip-hop group putting the internet on promising summer anthem

Make no mistake about it, M1 Platoon is setting the summer off with their popular DC anthem, "Put It On You Hard ." This infectious tune is hosted by M1 Platoon with guest feature Prince Markee. Sampling the beat of up and coming DC go-go band called the Wildboyz, producer Vaughn Garcia (formerly known as Arafat Yates) brings electricity to the already amplified tune with tremendous bass and street emphasis. Top that off with the daunting lyrics of Scoopay, Sean D. and Big Chopps and undoubtedly, you have a winner.

Download "Put It On You Hard" to your computer, iTunes, CD-R, whatever and bump it wherever because you definitely don't want to be in the dark when the street lights come on...

Also, be sure you visit Carolina Music Awards and nominate M1 Platoon for the best Hip-Hop award! Voting is easy. simply type your email address and then cast your nomination. You can only vote once but if you tell your friends, there is a better chance that you will see M1 Platoon represent on stage.

Voting ends May 29th. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and at www.carolinamusicawards.com

Thank you all for your continued support and stay up to date with M1 Platoon all over the web!

Introducing Vaughn Garcia

2009-05-12T18:08:00.000-07:00

No, M1 Platoon does not have a new member, but a new persona. Arafat Yates, best known for his beatmaking ability behind the M1 Platoon sound, has decided to embrace his birth given name- Vaughn Garcia.

No doubt about it, Vaughn Garcia still has the touch to bless the board and bring a sound that this hip-hop nation has yet to name.

Go 'head Vaughn! We see you!
