Triple P

'Triple P' features an amazing guest list including Jay Dee, Spacek, SA-RA Creative Partners, Tiombe Lockhart, and Lacks.

The Platinum Pied Pipers (PPP) are a dynamic musical duo with an essential new twist on modern hip-hop and soul that not only tempts the masses, but quenches the thirst of an underground looking for a fresh new sound. Producers Waajeed (a founding member of Slum Village) and sidekick Saadiq have released 2 sold-out singles ('I Got You' Feat. Tiombe Lockhart was nominated for song of the year by the BBC Radio 1 Worldwide Show), as well as performed several highly talked-about live shows including 2 sold-out European Tours.

Cover versions of Faze O's classic "Rydin' High" and Bobby Caldwell's "Open Your Eyes" on Rewind Volume 2 debuted their ability to match their Detroit-schooled beat making with high level musicianship. The original tracks flaunted on "Triple P" launch an exciting voyage into Detroit hip-hop, soul, house, and rock that is at once polished and catchy, but also intrinsically edgy. Fellow Detroit artists Jay Dee & Invincible, Atlanta's MC Lacks, UK-based Spacek, LA's Georgia, and label mates SA-RA Creative Partners guest on the album.

Waajeed is no stranger to those who know their hip-hop. Teaming up with production guru Jay Dee in the early 1990s, he helped form Slum Village contributing tracks to their "Dirty District" compilation on Sequence/Kinetic as well as their critically acclaimed "Trinity (Past, Present, and Future)" album released on Capitol. He also worked with Jay Dee co-producing on the instant classic, "Welcome 2 Detroit" (BBE) as well as co-producing songs with soul sensation Dwele. Waajeed's Bling 47 label provided the launching pad for "The Official Jay Dee Instrumental Series" and the first installment of his own "BPM" instrumental series. Saadiq is a master keyboard and guitar player, taught by world-renowned songwriter Barrett Strong (worked with Marvin Gaye) and brings the improvisational live feel to PPP's sound.
