When it comes to hip-hop artists, Plies is the realest! After the success of his 2007 RIAA gold debut, The Real Testament, the Ft. Myers, Florida native returned a mere 10 months later with his sophomore release, The Definition of Real. Thanks to the success of his Ne-Yo-assisted #1 single, "Bust It Baby Part 2," Plies once again struck RIAA gold, selling over 500,000 copies of The Definition of Real. Then, within just six short months of The Definition of Real, Plies returned with his third disc, Da REAList, which along with his previous albums did rather well on the Soundscan Charts. Plies described this amazing fete by saying "I’ve been blessed to be able to come back with three albums in 16 months...I feel like it’s something that hadn’t been done in the new era." With that said, Plies is now on the brink of debuting his 4th studio album to date entitled "Goon Affiliated" which he has described as his best album to date and will be his first album to feature hip-hop collaborations.
In addition to his new release, Plies is also focused on his foundation. Big Gates & Plies Power of Visions Inc is a registered non-profit foundation established in 2008 by Ronell Big Gates" Levatte and his brother national recording artist Plies. The foundations main objective is to support the educational endeavors and life skills of the disenfranchised youth throughout their primary educational experience, specifically first graders up to high school. The foundation also provides those who have been and continue to be affected by the negative impacts of the prison system with preventative governance and societal transitioning support through fundamental assistance and legal aid.
