Never f**king change, Plies.

You really had to be there when Plies was in his prime run of making irresistible-ass R&B-leaning hip-hop records with artists like T-Pain, Ashanti, and Akon. What made those songs work was how he never once softened his Florida hood DNA to fit the smoother vibes. Instead, he planted his raw delivery right in the middle of glossy melodies, creating records that hit equally hard for rap fans and R&B listeners.

These days, Plies has oddly become an unexpected political voice on the internet, especially in Democratic spaces, which is not something most of us had on our bingo cards. Still, the important part is that he never stopped making music. His latest release, “Falling Off The Bone,” reminds you that the rapper knows exactly how to tap into his lane when he wants to.

The track rides a furious, darker flip of the “Back That Azz Up” energy, built for clubs with low ceilings and reckless speakers. It comes with a catchy hook, a steady flow, and that familiar mix of outrageousness and slick confidence only Plies really pulls off.

Lyrically, he mainly talks about being around women who play more D than the Los Angeles Lakers. All in all, the song is short, nasty, and catchy as hell, the kind of record that knows its job and does it efficiently.
