Background notes
Archive material and source history
54th Platoon was a hip-hop collective that formed in Brooklyn in the late 1980s. Their lineup included Rodney Chapman, Carlton Ridenhour, James Rose, Alvin Salmon, and Anthony Williams, who went by various stage names. They put out albums like '54th Platoon' in 1992, 'All or Nothin'' in 1994, and 'The Millennium' in 1997.
Their track 'Hypnotize Minds/Profit Posse' got some radio play and turned up on mixtapes. Other songs in their catalog include 'Who The Crunkest,' 'A Blossom Fell,' and 'Are You In Or Out?' Their lyrics drew criticism at times for being too raw or confrontational, but they kept making music that reflected their surroundings without much compromise.
They weren't around for a long stretch, but their records have a specific late-'80s/early-'90s Brooklyn feel that still gets mentioned by people who were listening then. The group's sound was built on straightforward beats and direct rhymes, without much studio polish.
