Overview
Plan B has compared his new album 'The Ballad Of Belmarsh' to his rap debut.
The rapper, who will release the follow-up to 2010 album 'The Defamation Of Strickland Banks' later this year, has said that the new album sees him go back to his rap roots.
''My first record was the kind of record that, when your parents went past, they'd go 'Turn that off, give it to me, it's going in the bin!'' Plan B told The Daily Mirror.
He added: ''But with the second, the same parents were like, 'What a talented guy'. [With the third album] those parents are going to go straight back to, 'Turn that s*it off'. It's an underground hip-hop album about Strickland Banks being banged up in Belmarsh. I won't be him singing any more, I'll be rapping about him, commenting on the story."
Meanwhile, Plan B refused to let Jay-Z appear on a track for his new album.
