VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — Vicksburg native and rapper SeAndre White, known professionally as Platinum Diesel, has signed a deal with Global Music Entertainment.
“I’m ready to show them that I’m worth everything they put behind me,” White said. “It came at the perfect time, and my team is moving pretty smooth.”
White grew up on the south side of Vicksburg. At 12, he visited his brother in Michigan, where he says he fell in love with music. By 16, he was part of a rap group that produced a local hit titled ‘Big Dog.’
“I came from the era where we burned CDs and sold them for $5,” White said.
He credits local artists such as Young Nut and Too Crunk as early inspirations. Music always stayed close to him, even through poetry — he once placed second in a poetry competition at the county library.
That young kid from Vicksburg has now grown into Platinum Diesel, who’s been performing hits such as ‘Off the Top,’ ‘Here I Go,’ and ‘Dip and Vibe.’
Platinum Diesel has performed in cities including Tampa, Miami, Orlando, Houston, Cleveland, and throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. His growing popularity has him booked with shows through January.
While focusing on singles for now, White said he will also be featured on an upcoming mixtape released by his label.
He gave shoutouts to local talents Lil Sleepy, Tommy Curtis III, and Goonie Beats, along with Don’t Look Like Dat Entertainment.
“Last but not least, I want to give a shoutout to Louis Buck with 4:30 Management Group,” he said.
Platinum Diesel’s music is available on all major streaming platforms, and he plans to host an event in his hometown this November.
