"My music is very much reflective of the ills of our community and real talk, there are people out there struggling to make ends meet in this economy. This giveaway to me is more than just a countdown to my album release, it's about giving back to my community and anybody who knows me knows that's what it's all about. So for me it's about being able to help out where help is needed." -Plies
With three albums under his belt, Plies success was almost instant. His debut album The Real Testament struck a chord with fans hitting RIAA Gold, and less than 10 months later his sophomore effort Definition of Real secured RIAA Gold status back to back with Plies showing no signs of slowing down. His strongest quality along with his lyrical prowess is his agility and ability to address the issues of the community he loves. When you combine Plies' overall charismatic-appeal with his unwavering street credibility (edge) fused with his socio-political awareness you get an artist with tremendous depth.
Not only is he the realest rapper in the game, he also alongside with his brother music oracle Big Gates founded the Big Gates & Plies Power of Visions which supports educational endeavors and helps develop essential life skills of disenfranchised youth in urban communities. The Foundation also aims to provide instruction and assistance for those who are affected by the negative impacts of the penal system with preventative methods and societal transitioning support. Through Power of Visions, Plies is able to collaborate with other like minded organizations to solidify and create a heightened awareness of his foundations objectives and common goals of elevation of the under privileged communities.
The Goon Affiliated 25 Day Giveaway is Plies continuing to use his platform for social change and awareness. "This giveaway will not only countdown to my fourth album release but also gives back to the community from which I am a product of," says Plies. "With so many giveaways," he said, "people give away things that are not a necessity. The 'Goon Affiliated 25 Day Giveaway' gives people a chance to win something that they really need, that could save a family's home, grant a college education, or allow someone to see a medical professional for treatment and I feel blessed to be able to contribute." He states... "It's so much more than a giveaway to me."
