Big Gates/Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic recording artist Plies has made an explosive chart debut with his debut album, "THE REAL TESTAMENT."  The collection - which features the blockbuster hit single, "Shawty (Feat. T-Pain)" - entered the Billboard 200 at #2.

Hailed as "one of the realest you will ever know," Plies has already established a phenomenal underground and street presence on the strength of his infamous mixtapes and live show.  For his major label debut, the MC relays tales of street struggle, making money, and ghetto queens - what he refers to as "reality music."  "When people get this CD, they gon' live by it," proclaims Plies. The Ft. Myers, Florida-bred rapper recently heralded the release of "THE REAL TESTAMENT" with a whirlwind promo tour of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, visiting 10 cities (including Ft. Myers, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, Savannah, Charlotte, and Columbia) in just four days.

 "Shawty (Feat. T-Pain)" is without doubt one of the summer's biggest hip-hop smashes, now ranking at #1 with-a-bullet at Urban radio outlets nationwide, exceeding 10,000 spins.  The single is also currently #2 on Billboard

The ringtone for "Shawty" is proving equally popular, coming in this week as the #1 Ringback tone on T-Mobile's "Top 25," while climbing to #3 on Billboard's "Hot RingMasters" chart.

With "Shawty" blazing through the summer, Plies is already set to unveil his second single. "Hypnotized (Feat. Akon)" is slated to impact at multi-format radio outlets in mid-September.
