Plies insists a trio is better than a duo. After his first single, “Bust It Baby Pt. 2,” featured only one guest star (Ne-Yo), he’s going in for the kill by giving fans a pair of collaborators (plus himself, of course) on his next two tracks.

“That record, I feel, is a helluva second single,” he said of Definition of Real’s “Please Excuse My Hands,” which features Jamie Foxx and The-Dream. “To come behind a #1 record and have a person who’s currently relevant in Dream, one of the better songwriters to come through this industry, and then do the Jamie Foxx thing, the boss of all bosses — I wanted to try something differently than I did on my last album.

“Even my third single, ‘#1 Fan,’ with Keyshia Cole and J. Holiday,” he added. “I wanted to load up two big features on that record as well. Try something different. A lot of times you get a feature, and it’s just you and that other artist. I wanted to see if I could bring something different to the game, see if I can force people to follow my trend.”

The video for “Please Excuse My Hands” is almost here, and Plies said he’s getting positive reviews thus far. He said the record describes a scenario we’ve all been through: when lust takes over our minds.

“I think at some point in time, we always see that person from afar or in a club or in an elevator that allows us to look at them, and in our mind, we already lived that [sexual] situation out,” he explained of the cut. “To run with that whole concept, ‘Please Excuse My Hands,’ the male embracement of that record has been crazy to me. When I go to radio stations, I hear DJs, jocks tell me, ‘Man, I love this way better than “Bust It Baby.” ‘ I thought it was gonna be a female-driven record.”

Hip Hop MC Plies, aka Algernod Lanier Washington, has announced details of his very own non-profit organization, Big Gates and Plies Power Of Visions Foundation, Inc.; as well as a scholarship program, the “Somebody Loves You” Scholarship Fund. The hip hop MC instituted the Scholarship Fund for those who have a parent(s) that are presently incarcerated and who are financially disadvantaged.
Plies, the Ft. Myers, Florida-bred, Big Gates/Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic recording hip hop MC, continues to ride the wave of success proven by his sophomore hip hop / rap release, “DEFINITION OF REAL,” which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, selling 215,000 copies in its first week. In fact, the album’s first week sales gave Plies the highest selling first-week numbers in the history of Miami-based Slip-N-Slide Records.

Keeping in the tradition of Plies’ philanthropy, Big Gates and Plies Power Of Visions will provide funding for legal representation and aid to needy individuals, specifically those who are incarcerated, with the goal of promoting a more functional, productive, and just community. The organization will also provide educational forums, classes, workshops, trainings, opportunities, and other charitable activities aimed at individuals in the community, in particular focusing on rehabilitation.

In addition, Big Gates and Plies Power Of Visions will focus on promoting activities for youth and minorities, including education, mentorship, cultural experiences, and preventative measures aimed at combating incarceration in the Tampa and Ft. Myers, Florida areas.

The organization’s first effort will be the “Somebody Loves You” Scholarship Fund 2008 (named after the song “Somebody (Loves You) “from his current album), which is designed specifically for students attending an accredited college or university, who have a parent(s) that is presently incarcerated and who is financially disadvantaged. The scholarship is open to students who are currently enrolled or who will be entering school this fall. Two scholarships will be awarded to one male and one female in the amount of $5000 each.

According to a published Senate report in September of 2000, as many as 70 percent of children of incarcerated parents will become involved with the criminal justice system unless effective intervention strategies are set in place. Big Gates and Plies Power Of Visions, Inc. hopes to inspire and encourage these at-risk youth to break the cycle of incarceration. Co-founder Plies comments, “We want to provide those who have been and continue to be affected by the negative impacts of the prison system with a sense of hope, and to let them know that they are not forgotten. No matter what adversities one may face in life, one thing remains true - and that is that somebody loves you.”
