PLATINUM SOULS
"No rest til we reach 1 million"

Platinum Souls: the sign of great new things to come. A unique blend of hip-hop and poetry, the duo also adds to their flavor, a dash of reggae and soul. Since they united in January 2002, Platinum Souls (which means: One Million Souls for the Kingdom of God) has embarked on an aggressive journey- to positively impact a hurting and dying society. They are both Licensed Ministers who are highly respected and requested (as Artists and Speakers) in Churches, Colleges, and in mainstream arenas- internationally. They have shared stages with: CeCe Winans, Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, DC Talk, Out of Eden, Tonex, Canton Jones, J. Moss, Nicole C. Mullin, Bone Crusher, Bubba Sparxxx, Clipse, and Scarface (just to name a few). Furthermore, they have infiltrated the airwaves with their Unexpected Mixes, a series of 7 mix tapes the duo has used to build anticipation for their upcoming album release: "Hybrid" (coming on 1-1-0. They are known for delivering high-energy party anthem's like: "Til 6 in da Morning," which was the first single released on the groups label: Platinum Souls, Inc. Records. The song, released in 2006, is still in heavy rotation on airwaves around the world. And the video, Directed by hip-hop legend: Christopher Play Martin, is currently in rotation on major networks such as B.E.T. (Black Entertainment Television) and The Word Network.

Due to their unyielding commitment to spreading the gospel, Platinum Souls (which consists of: Ricardo FLO (For Lord Only) and Ms. Ty Scott) has received the following list of honors: 2006- Atlanta Hip Hop Film Festival: "Video of the Year" winners (for "Til 6 in da Morning"), 2005- Featured in the REAL Biblezine, a new Bible (by Thomas Nelson Publishers) for the urban community, 2005- Gospel Choice Award nominee, 2004- Atlanta Urban Legends Showcase winners, 2004 & 2003- Holy Hip Hop Awards winners, 2004- Urban Gospel Industry (UGI) winner, 2004- What's the Word Magazine winner, and 2002- Silver Mic Award winners (for the best Pizza Hut jingles of the year). And, as if that were not enough, Platinum Souls were also among a handful of artists chosen to be the first rappers ever to perform at The United States Pentagon! Furthermore, in March 2006, they made history by being among one of the first hip hop/ poetry groups ever to appear on T.B.N. (the Trinity Broadcast Network), as guests on Praise the Lord, hosted by: CeCe Winans.

Yet, in the midst of it all, they remain humble and focused on saving souls. Platinum Souls refuses to forsake their integrity for success, as too many of the artists they encounter have done. Instead, they prefer to specialize in doing great exploits for God, delivering their message with boldness and authority. Despite the fact that they know their doctrine is not always accepted, they refuse to dilute it. Even in the clubs, you will find them saying: J.E.S.U.S. C.H.R.I.S.T.- Jesus Christ...The Way, The Truth, The Life, has set me free! But, they are definitely Not About Religion. Instead, they encourage others to Ride Wit Us, as they promote the importance of a personal relationship with God, and not the man-made regulations that are often taught as keys to salvation.

Platinum Souls is atypical in both the hip-hop and poetry arenas. But, one thing everyone will come to know about them is that they are not ones to shun a challenge so, from them you can no doubt expect the Unexpected!

They are submitted and serving under the ministry covering of Pastor Hart Ramsey Sr. - Pastor and Founder of Northview Christian Church in Dothan, Alabama. They reside in Atlanta, Georgia.
