Plies The Real Testament Pt. 2

Plies is the latest in a growing list of rappers, from Nas to Twista to Raekwon, looking to recapture the fame of their critically acclaimed debuts with a sequel. His fifth album, The Real Testament Pt. 2, recalls his 2007 debut, The Real Testament. But it also serves as the follow-up to 2010's Goon Affiliated, which received very mixed reviews. Expect the second Real Testament to feature Plies' typical cast of characters (Young Jeezy and Trey Songz) and producers (The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and J.R. Rotem).
