Definition Of Real

Definition Of Real

• Shrink-wrapped

Success hasn t changed Plies; it has just made him more real.<br>After selling over a half million copies of his 2007 debut album,<br> THE REAL TESTAMENT, the rapper hailing from the streets of<br>Fort Myers, Florida returns with the release of his sophomore set,<br> DEFINITION OF REAL. I feel like what I try to stand for in this game<br>and what I reflect and represent is the extinct individuality in terms<br>of being real, explains Plies. It was only right for me to embody my<br>sophomore album with the whole definition of what I like to call real.<br>It s a term that I looked up and I dissected and I feel like it fits me as<br>a person; better than any term I ever ran across. <br>Led by a pair of powerful singles, Plies has created an unstoppable<br>movement with Bust It Baby, Part 1 and Bust It Baby, Part 2. <br>The two-part ode to the women who have supported the rapper s career<br>goes beyond mere radio records. Instead, Plies has an unprecedented<br>marketing campaign that is sure to keep him at the forefront of hip-hop.<br>The first installment of the series is a southern-cooked dedication to<br>the rapper s faithful female fan base, while the second part is a largerthan-<br>life tribute featuring production from JR Rotem and an infectious<br>hook by R&B superstar Ne-Yo. If 2007 s Shawty was a pop-hit with a<br>ghetto twist, then Bust It Baby, Part 2 is that to the tenth power.<br>Still, don t expect too many features on the album, as Plies pledges to give<br>his fans exactly what they pay for. There ain t no other rappers on my album,<br>that s important for me. I don t believe in having seven or eight features on<br>an album - to me that s a compilation album. So, much like Plies debut<br>album, DEFINITION OF REAL only boasts R&B features. I think I m alright<br>when it comes to talking about certain issues, so I don t really need the<br>support of n****s to help me fulfill that vision.<br> I never try to be defined by how many records I sell. I think it s more<br>important for my mark to be made on what I stand for, says Plies.
