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.

Plies’ song “Plenty Money” is a braggadocious track in which the rapper boasts about his extravagant lifestyle and his overflowing wealth. The song opens with Plies repeating “I got plenty money” and asserting that he wants the streets to know about his affluence. He then describes what he has bought with his money, such as expensive jewelry, foreign cars, and even a new house. Plies challenges his haters to take off their shirts so he can bet on seeing their ribs and implies that they are jealous of his success. The chorus repeats again before Plies continues to flaunt his wealth, stating that he feels sorry for other rappers and that he has plenty of money to buy whatever he wants. He also asserts that he is not afraid to use his money to intimidate others, explaining that he keeps “fire” on deck.
The song’s theme of wealth and luxury is a common theme in hip-hop, but Plies’ delivery and confidence make the lyrics stand out. Plies’ deep, raspy voice commands attention, and the repetition of the chorus and phrases like “Plenty money” make the song instantly memorable. The lyrics also play with the notion of money being power, as Plies uses his wealth to intimidate and control those around him.
