Big Gates/Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic recording artist Plies gets even more real with the release of his highly anticipated sophomore album, “DEFINITION OF REAL.” The collection—which features the top 2 hit single, “Bust It Baby Part 2 (Feat. Ne-Yo),” and the official street anthem, “Who Hotter Than Me”— arrives in stores and at all online retailers today, June 10th.

The Fort Myers, Florida-based MC will team up with Ne-Yo for a pair of major television appearances, including an appearance today on BET’s 106 & Park.  Tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday, June 11th, will see Plies and Ne-Yo busting out “Bust It Baby Part 2” on MTV’s TRL as part of its “Spankin’ New Music Week” programming (check local listings).
