So far, 2009 has been a relatively quiet year for Plies. Usually, his music has taken over before October, but this year has been an odd one for Plies. His single, “Becky,” has began to heat things up.
Taking a page from Ja Rule’s book, Plies released “Want It/Need It” featuring Ashanti late last year. Coming into 2009, the song dominated urban radio. It was one of the more notable songs of the early stages of this year.
The last single released from the album was “Plenty Money.” The song did not receive much airplay, but the fact that it was remixed by a few other rappers only shows his influence on hip hop in 2009. Most of Plies’ radio success has come from an album released last December.
Most other rappers would have trouble achieving the success that Plies has had even if they released an album this year. For the summer, Plies was relatively quiet, but he is heating up the fall season with his single, “Becky.”
“Becky” is the first single off of Plies’ Goon Affiliated, which will be released in November 2009 on Atlantic Records.
