1) Plan B (real … Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists and bands with this name:
1) Plan B (real name Ben Drew, b. 1983) is a rapper from Forest Gate, London. From the age of 11 he attended Anglo European School in Ingatestone Essex, before transfering to Tom Hood, an inner-city comprehensive. He has described his character, in these school days, as "a bit of a cunt". He is signed to 679 Recordings, home to UK rap act The Streets. His unique sound is characterised by his use of acoustic beats and lyrics involving drugs, rape, murder and underage sex. He was placed fourth in the BBC's "Sound of 2006" competition.
His second album was released in April 2010; The Defamation of Strickland Banks was released on 12 April 2010. The album is a departure from the sound heard on Plan B's debut album Who Needs Actions When You Got Words, with the rapper's sophomore effort showcasing much more of his singing ability. Lyrically the album's songs tell the fictitious tale of one Strickland Banks, a sharp-suited British soul singer who finds fame with bitter-sweet love songs like the album's opener "Love Goes Down", but then loses everything when he ends up in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
The album was a great success, reaching #1 in the UK album charts, and three singles from the album reached the top 20 of the UK singles charts, with 'Stay Too Long' reaching #9 and 'She Said' reaching #3.
The Ill Manors Songfacts reports that on March 23, 2012 Plan B released “Ill Manors,” the title track of the soundtrack to the British film of the same title, which he wrote and directed.

2) Plan B (real name James van Leuven) is a producer/musician from Seattle, WA. On Like a Ship Sailing, Plan B's James van Leuven steps beyond his drumming for Automaton and allows percussion to be the focus. Laying a foundation of trip-hop beats, van Leuven (who handles nearly all of the instrumentation) implements sampling and crawly guitars and bass. The record possesses the darker atmospheres of trip-hop but without the accompanying vocals. There's also a spy film aura that permeates much of the album. Sometimes it gets a little too dark with the disturbing line, "Howard just said he was going to blow his brains out next Tuesday." It's balanced by a child asking, "Have you ever been in love?," in "Love," which flirts with breakbeats. "Come out Strong" has a finger-snapping cool jazz vibe with trumpet from Bill Jones. This project might be "plan B" for van Leuven, but his great job with live percussion makes it grade-A post-rock.
After the release of 2 LPs in 2002 and 2006 + 1 EP in 2003, Plan B Seattle was over-shadowed by the pop success of the british Plan B Ben Drew in 2006. Since then Plan B Seattle has stopped releasing music under this moniker.

Plan B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're all flesh and bone
Eh man when all's said and done, that ain't nothing, so
Ooh, you ain't nothing, oh no, oh
You ain't nothing, can't you see
Not in my eyes, no siree
You ain't family now no longer
Guess you always knew your place
Somehow that left a bitter taste
Won't you try and put in mine
But it's blown up in your face
At the end of the day we're flesh and bone, ooh
Flesh and bone, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Member when all's said and done, that ain't nothing so
Ooh, you ain't nothing, oh no
Not to me
I think you're something, guess again
I turned your back on all your friends
And no one's bridging all that burnt
Just someone who pretends
Now you've milked all you can milk
Every last little fucking drop that spilt
You're on to greener pastures
On the other side of the fence you built
At the end of the day we're flesh and bone, ooh
Flesh and bone, yeah, yeah, yeah
Man when all's said and done, that ain't nothing, so
Ooh, you ain't nothing, oh no
Not to me
Every year that goes by is another nail in your coffin
You believe your own lie and really have no intention of stopping
I don't hate you, I don't love you, neither geezer, you mean nada
I ain't anything like you, if I was my daughter'd be without a father
Friends don't foe up, love the water
I don't know ya and I don't wanna
At the end of the day you're just flesh and bone
We're all flesh and bone, yeah, yeah, yeah
Man when all's said and done, that ain't nothing, so
Ooh, you ain't nothing, oh no
Not to me
The song "Flesh & Bone" by Plan B sheds light on the fact that at the end of the day, every person is just flesh and bone. Despite all the differences and conflicts we may have with others, we’re all human and that’s what matters. The first verse talks about how no matter who we are or what we do, we all share the same fate, which is to be reduced to nothing but flesh and bone. The chorus reiterates this by hammering in the message that none of the things we worry about, the labels that we assign ourselves or others, or our positions in society, mean anything in the grand scheme of things.
The second verse addresses someone who is a stranger now, someone who has betrayed the trust of their friends, and someone who is putting on a facade. The tone here is unapologetic and almost vengeful, with Plan B stating that he doesn’t hate or love this person, and in fact, the person means nothing to him. In the bridge, Plan B makes it clear that time waits for no one and that each year that goes by is another nail in the coffin. There is no intention of stopping the self-deception, but that won't change anything in the end.
Overall, "Flesh & Bone" is a reminder that at the core, we’re all just human, and that no matter what happens, we're all the same. Despite our differences and struggles, we should have compassion for each other and understand that we're all in this together. The song stresses that it’s important to focus on what’s really important in life, such as happiness, love, and understanding.
