Platnum
Platnum are a British three-piece bassline vocal group from Manchester, UK, consisting of male vocalist Aaron Evers and female vocalists Mina Poli and Michelle McKenna. The trio are best known for providing the vocals on H "Two" O's 2008 single, "What's It Gonna Be?", which reached number two in the UK Singles Chart in February 2008. Platnum, who formed around 2004, have worked with DJs Jamie Duggan and Q as well as producers Virgo, H "Two" O and Nastee Boi.
The groups highly anticipated second single, "Love Shy (Thinking About You)" was released on 29 September 2008 and they have also started work on their debut album which became a mixtape. They were touring, supporting N-Dubz, in the UK in Autumn 2009.
Formation and early success
The group formed for a local talent show. The selected name for the new band was Urban Superstars, in around 2004. They did not win the competition, they then used their entry track Over the Heartache to showcase their talents to established members of the UK Bassline scene. The track proved popular, and a remix, by DJ Jamie Duggan, was awarded Bassline Heaven's Tune of the Year Award in 2006, In actual fact, Damien Thompson (A.K.A D-Tox) engineered and co-produced the track, but was not credited, as he was signed to the Reflective record label at the time. Nocturnal Records released the track on vinyl, in the same year. The track also had major interest from Ministry Of Sound, with the prospect of a major release, but an agreement could not be made between the singers and producers as to whose name would be credited first in the title. The group have met many other singers and producers such as Sacha and S.U.D.

Get That Dough
by: Beanie SigelGet that dough, still huggin' the strip
Get that dough, get the dough nigga
Uhh uhh, sig' get that dough
Uhh yo, uhh yo get that dough
I'm sick of niggaz talkin' 'bout they whips, when they bustin' 'em out
Summertime come around, don't nuttin' come out
Snappin' on they bitch, cussin' her out
Mad 'cause they crack, ain't no crack, they sufferin' a drought
Man you know how mac play when I sling my butter
Take my show state to state like the ring ling brothers
Keep clowns high-wired off the shit I juggle
F.B.I. eyes spyin' from the shit I smuggle
Keep the trunk of the car lined with coffee grounds
The cops pull us over it throw off the hounds
Got a bitch that let me stash shit in the crib
Break her off, every week, to fix up her wig
Man I stay on a mission with whores
'Cause I get down and get around like the late Mr. Shakur
Stay in the kitchen with raw
I'm the shit when I whip, I always turn two into four
Yo, get your mind right, get your grind right
Till you get the shine right and get that dough
Stay on the low-low, duckin' the po'-po'
Tuck in the fo'-fo' and get that dough
You get your team right and that's the green light
To cut your cream right and get that dough
It won't stop y'all, until I drop y'all
I'ma hug the block y'all and get that dough
Yo, aiyyo I got plenty dough but there's more to make
And I'm the chef, I bake, I don't order cakes
If I'm short, shit you caught a break
I can make twenty look like twenty-eight off of water weight
I'm the shit when I'm twistin my wrist
In the kitchen with that thang that got fiends skitzin' to hit
From the drugs that I drug in the narcs be buggin'
I keep my eye on the block and a pie in the oven
Smokers come straight, I ain't breakin' off nuttin'
Got two thirty-eights, I can break you off a dozen
You know how Mac play, when it come to that yea
I got 'em locked up on the block like it's crack day
I fucks with the pipers, ducks from the bikers
Punks on the righteous, bust at the sheisters
Stay in the kitchen with a block of raw
Razor blade play partner straw, yo
Get your mind right, get your grind right
Till you get the shine right and get that dough
Stay on the low-low, duckin' the po'-po'
Tuck in the fo'-fo' and get that dough
You get your team right and that's the green light
To cut your cream right and get that dough
It won't stop y'all, until I drop y'all
I'ma hug the block y'all and get that dough
Yo, yo, aiyyo I cops that coke, cooks that coke
Chops that coke and give out perks work
Makes that dough, gets them ends
How you want it dog, pipe or syringe?
Aiyyo I hit the block quickly and lick up a fifty
Tear the highway like freeway Ricky
Spit it my way and pop shit sickly
Till the feds come and get me or the lead bullet hit me
Yo get your mind right, get your grind right
Till you get the shine right and get that dough
Stay on the low-low, duckin' the po'-po'
Tuck in the fo'-fo' and get that dough
You get your team right and that's the green light
To cut your cream right and get that dough
It won't stop y'all, until I drop y'all
I'ma hug the block y'all and get that dough
Yo get your mind right, get your grind right
Till you get the shine right and get that dough
Stay on the low-low, duckin' the po'-po'
Tuck in the fo'-fo' and get that dough
You get your team right and that's the green light
To cut your cream right and get that dough
It won't stop y'all, until I drop y'all
