Like Young Jeezy but think he’s a little soft? Then this golden-toothed Florida MC and self-avowed “goon” might be for you. Plies is making the most of his moment, glutting the market with albums’ worth of pop-friendly sex jams (it’s amazing how often one can rhyme “wet” and “undressed” when at a loss for words) and no-frills chest-thumping that marry vocabulary-limited singsong choruses asserting his goon-itude with minimalist hand claps and kick drums. “Kitty Kitty” is off Plies’ upcoming “Goon Affiliated” CD.
