The power of gospel and the majesty of orchestral music unite in a historic new collaboration as the world-renowned London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) partners with Platoon to release SHOUT FOR JOY. This unprecedented new album brings gospel music together with an orchestra in a way never heard before - lifting hearts, stirring souls, and sharing communal joy through music.
“ROVER” lives in that light. Summer at the edges, but not carefree. The joy here is earned; you can hear the work behind it, the kind that stains. Party on the surface, story in the grain. Khaid isn’t rushing it; he paces like someone who understands what a chorus can carry when you give it space.
Nasty C performs his new single "Head Up" for his Platoon Soundcheck. He says it's "a song about trusting and believing in yourself. It’s a reminder to be patient with yourself, especially in moments when life feels heavy. It’s easy to get discouraged when you see others crushing it while you’re struggling, but the song encourages you to hold on, to trust, love, and give yourself the grace you need to get through those times."
Wyclef Jean is back and he’s got some famous friends with him. The former Fugee has dropped his new single “Back From Abu Dhabi” with Rick Ross and French Montana. For the track, the three cruise over cinematic beat switches as they get off some of their typically self-mythologizing bars. It’s flexing, but it feels like there’s a purpose to it.
This soundcheck is teaaaa! Watch Lucy Park's Platoon Soundcheck performance of "Oolong."
