02/15/07 - Plies Discusses Label Politics, New Album

J-Banks · 02-15-2007, 05:27 PM

Determined to never make himself a victim of label drama, Fort Meyers, FL rapper Plies is taking charge with a forthcoming album and his record label, Big Gates Records.

The company, which Plies co-owns with his brother, represents another chapter for the lyricist. He plans on releasing a string of artists on the label, but not before learning a bit more about the music business.

"I'm that motherf**er who considers myself a realist," Plies told AllHipHop.com. "I like to make sure all my seeds are planted right and once I get my situation right I'll start looking for talent."

"I don't wanna have n**as signed to me and n**as waiting to come out in two or three years because I would never be cool with that," Plies said. "I would never do the misfortunes of locking up motherf***ers and signing them and stringing them along. I ain't into that as a business man."

As for his current recording home Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic Records, Plies is adamant about handling his own business, rather than leave it in the hands of label personnel.

"From the standpoint of me, I believe in me," Plies said. "I've created a situation that has been unheard of in the streets. For me to be getting $15,000 a show to be doing packed shows and having 2,500 people is an abnormal situation. This s**t don't come around every year, so I believe in me."

Plies new untitled album is scheduled to hit stores on Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic in 2007.
