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.

Strap on my motherfucking lap, it's shoot or hunna
Bad bitches all on times, gotta hunna
Stick that on that ass, doing the tat, doing the hunna
I ain't got no change yeah, all I got is hunna
New palee, white teeth, fuck louie
Start talking bout it, be about it, pussy do it
New lands came out, I'm going to get the john
He rap his ass off but that fuck nigga cornered
Asked me for a feature, told him nigga

Money in the ceiling, got them turkeys in the van
Pistol on the counter, got the cookings front to fan
[Hook:] x 2
Strap on my motherfucking lap, it's shoot or hunna
Bad bitches all on times, gotta hunna
Stick that on that ass, doing the tat, doing the hunna
I ain't got no change yeah, all I got is hunna
Who that nigga in the 5 star suit
Nigga play the chppa, nigga that 5 star eat

Pay for the cats, all the crackers on lease
And one of us don't die pussy nigga wouldn't beef
You scared say you scared, nigga

Peels on my lap, waist them all on the seat
Pour down the liquor, for my homie, rest in piece

Bad bitches all on times, gotta hunna
Stick that on that ass, doing the tat, doing the hunna
I ain't got no change yeah, all I got is hunna.
