Plies was born Algernod Lanier Washington on July 1, 1976, in Fort Myers, Florida and grew up in Cape Coral, Florida. While at Fort Myers Senior High School, he played in the football team, was crowned Homecoming King, and was named the "Best Dressed" student of his class. He attended Miami University for a year and played in its basketball team, then transferred to the University of Central Florida for sophomore year and dropped out. In the late 1990s, Plies and his stepbrother Ronnell Lawrence Lavatte, also known as Big Gates, established an independent record label, Big Gates Records. Although Plies initially refused to rap, after a demonstration for one of his artists, Big Gates decided to keep Plies' verse on the track "Tell Dem Krackers Dat". Big Gates and Plies promoted the single and traveled many times to Miami, which eventually led to a deal for Plies on Slip-n-Slide Records. Plies's girlfriend Brandy Lacole Lyons gave birth to a son, Nijier Lanier Washington, at the University Community Hospital in Tampa, Florida on October 20, 2003. After signing to Slip-n-Slide in 2004, Plies released several mixtapes.
On July 2, 2006, after a shooting at a Gainesville, Florida nightclub, Plies was charged with illegal possession of a concealed weapon, and members of his entourage were charged with attempted murder. The shooting, in which 5 people were injured, started after Plies' microphone was cut off for Lil' Boosie to perform, after Plies' performance ran over time. According to the promoter Jonathan Smith, Plies became "enraged". A fight began with fists and shouting, and ended with at least six rounds of bullets being fired.

In Plies’s song “Dat Bitch”, the lyrics speak about a man who is ready to spend his money lavishly. He boasts about being wealthy with stacks in every pocket, a pistol on his waist, and liquor in his hand. The chorus emphasizes on his plan to go to the strip club to create chaos and spend his money on specific women he desires. He emphasizes the importance of spending money on the ‘real’ thing and not just ‘hitting’ on women. The verses talk about how he got his money from a ‘lick’ and how he is ready to spend it all to enjoy life.
Plies’s use of language in this song is an example of the misogynistic nature of hip hop. He refers to women as ‘hoes’ and ‘bitches’, indicating a sense of ownership and power over them. It is also evident that he uses his wealth as a means of defining his identity, which is common in hip hop culture. Plies also highlights how he is not afraid of getting into trouble with the law, especially with his possession of a firearm.
Overall, “Dat Bitch” portrays Plies's desire to live a lavish lifestyle and “ball out” with his wealth. The lyrics speak about his power and control over women, which is a common theme in hip hop culture.
