Platinum Status What keeps hip-hop fresh is it’s way of reinventing itself, as styles and cultures evolve, so does the music that has taken the world over for the past twenty years. With such a strong southern influence, its well known that any act coming out of the south is going to be compared to numerous platinum selling artists .So when the Houston, TX based duo of Chris “Kartier” Williams and Eric “Gods Gift” Johnson came together to create music they knew they could not fall anywhere short of Platinum Status.Gaining recognition from nationally known personalities such as Dj Bay Bay (who inspired the chart topping song “Hey Bay Bay” by Hurricane Chris), to creating a fan frenzy after performing as the only hip-hop act at an all rock event called the Indie Road Show in Las Vegas, the group has not only proven that they have a Platinum Status but also crossover qualities as well. It is this notoriety that has made Platinum Status sell out events from Los Angeles to Miami, and all across the southern United States. From local On-Air radio interviews, to a heavy street buzz, it is obvious that Platinum Status will be the next super act to come out of the infamous H-Town (Houston, TX).Growing up on the tough poverty stricken north side of Houston, Eric and Chris overcame the stereotypes and misfortunes of the ghetto to surpass their peers and create an uplifting momentum for themselves and the people around them. “We had to show our boys around us, there is more to life then being a thug.” It is this mentality that separates Platinum Status from other cliché hip-hop groups. This is evident from your first listen to their EP “The Moment of Truth”.Young and ambitious, the Platinum Status boys have sturdy heads on their shoulders. They’re continuously working on their movement. Whether it is writing, recording, producing, or contacting media outlets, their constantly pushing the envelope. Doing this has caught the attention of the world-wide Dj Whoo Kid, who agreed to host their mixtape after hearing their single, “Stuntin in my Whip”.If you haven’t heard Platinum Status “Stuntin in my Whip” then you’re missing out on the next southern club banger since Chamillionaire’s “Riding Dirty” or TI’s “Top Back”. Their buzz is sweeping across the nation, from their hometown of Houston, TX (H-Town), to Atlanta, GA (the Mecca of southern hip-hop). “Everyone can relate to Stuntin in my Whip, because it’s a fun song about showing your pride and breaking away from the norm”. The second single off the EP is “How G’s Ride”, an instant hit that appeals to every market because of its catchy sound and certainly has top 40 potential.Ready to take on the industry, Platinum Status is definitely on top of their game. Their crafty wordplay to hard-hitting club beats show that they have a huge future ahead of themselves. “We want people to feel our music and start to think outside the box.”
“You are looking at the future of music.” - P.S.S.
'The Moment of Truth' Is At Hand!
