THINGS THEY SAY: PLIES TO ADVOCATE FOR INMATES

Tweet

After being reunited with his brother Ronell “Big Gates” Levatte who just finished a three year bid in a Florida state prison for his involvement in a shooting at a nightclub in 2006, goon of all goons Plies is determined to use his music to expose the injustices of the American justice system. Plies promises to use his voice to bring to the forefront the struggles of people locked up in the pen. He says,

“I think it’s (publicly addressing the prison system) important. (My brother and I) talked a long time yesterday and… he gave it to me in the simplest form possible. He said, ‘Behind that wall, there’s more people who are suffering, struggling, disappointed, sincerely hurting.’ “People will never understand it unless you are a part of that system… It’s a lot of pain and struggle that they go through. My new vow that I made to myself is that regardless of my situation and my fame, that’s something that’s always gonna be a part of me and my responsibility to do everything I can to make sure that those people’s voices behind those walls live on. I’ll always be a representation of them”.

Glad to hear Plies is taking the iniative to do something positive! But, he’s not off the hook for that ignorant “Goonette” reality series he’s trying to push.
