Slip-n-Slide Owner Explains why Plies is coming out with another CD so soon: “December 16, Plies ain’t gonna let you down,” the exec promised. The album’s first single is “Pants Hang Low,” produced by Mannie Fresh. “The music business changes so quick,” Lucas added, explaining why Plies is dropping again, even with his gold album Definition of Real still in cycle. “Plies is a hard worker. There’s no need to hold him back. I heard the album, heard the music, and I feel he’s ready. You gotta feed the fans. When you got a fanbase and you’re growing and they like your music, give them what they want. Before, you had albums come out by, like, Michael Jackson — people be on that album for two years. Now, the way the business is, we have to make sure the fans are happy and continue to grow.” The Realest will continue Plies’ string of mainstream hits and street anthems. “He’s definitely understanding the business,” Lucas noted. “He understands what it means to be mainstream, and he’s still keeping core to his fans. He ain’t watered down his music. The fans are still getting what they heard on the first mixtape. I feel he’s one of the best at feeding the streets, but he understands the business. He can make a mainstream song that fits on radio and TV, but it’s still on the edge.”
