Plies Readies His Second LP Of 2008

reeuQ A sI emyaG · 09-22-2008, 09:09 AM

Slip-N-Slide Records founder Ted Lucas recently had a vision. He wanted to spread his wings. He and his staff have started a rock division and are trying to break pop artist Qwote and R&B singer Shonie.

Still, Lucas hasn't forgotten what got him to the top: street hip-hop. The next two huge releases from the label are Rick Ross' Deeper Than Rap and Plies' The Realest.

"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."

Rick Ross is on a tear as of late. In the past couple of weeks, he's leaked freestyles to the Net where he's rapped over instrumentals, and made unofficial remixes to songs like Robin Thicke's "Magic" and the Game's "Dope Boys." Look for a Ross/ Papa Smirf mixtape soon, but first he's releasing H, an album made in conjunction with an independent film he and Birdman are top-lining. (The "H" stands for hustle and honor.) Ross' third Def Jam LP, Deeper Than Rap, is set to hit shelves early next year.

"When he says 'deeper than rap,' he's not joking," the CEO continued. "I already knew he was ahead of his class five years ago. Now he's ready to spread it and show people what he can do — giving people good music. People ain't seen nothing yet. Ross is always in the studio putting in good work, and the music is incredible. They gonna be riding with Deeper Than Rap."

As you may know, longtime Slip-N-Slide flagship Trick Daddy recently left the label.

"It ain't like we parted ways and we don't speak," Lucas said of T-Double-D. "We're still close." ...
