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.

This yo lil' woe Plies, man (shawty)
Ayy, Pain I want you tell 'em 'bout your shawty homie
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I'ma tell 'em 'bout mine, dawg
Even though I'm not your man, your not my girl
I'ma call you my shawty
I'll beat his ass for my shawty
And we ain't did nothin' that we ain't supposed to do
'Cause you my shawty (oh-oh)
Baby girl, you know I be home, keep me on the ring tone shawty (yeah)
Sing it to me, girl
Soon as I seen her, shit, told her I'd pay for it
Lil mama the baddest thing 'round and she already know it
I pointed at the donk and told her, "This supposed to be yours" (haha)
Showed her a couple stacks and told her I'd let her blow it
The hottest nigga in the city, baby, you can't ignore it
I showed her I was a real nigga and she went for it
First time I caught her, shit, she ain't even know how to throw it back
Now she an animal, I got her sex game right
I taught her how to talk to me while she take pipe
And opened her up and showed her what a real nigga like
I told her, "I don't usually do this, I don't fuck on the first night
'Cause after I beat ya, baby, I'm liable to fuck up ya whole life"
I got her trained now, now she suck me with ice
I call her my lil' bust it baby, 'cause she keep it tight
Whenever I tell her to bust, ain't gotta tell her twice
Whenever I wanna get off, she know how to get me right
Even though I'm not your man, your not my girl
I'ma call you my shawty
'Cause I can't stand to see you treated bad
I'll beat his ass for my shawty
And we ain't did nothin' that we ain't supposed to do
'Cause you my shawty (oh-oh)
Baby girl, you know I be home, keep me on the ring tone shawty (yeah)

Look how that pussy sit up in them shorts, you gotta want her
Love when she act like she bowlegged and bend the corner
She proud to be fuckin me, 'cause I'm stuntin on 'em
It feel good to be fuckin a real nigga don't it?
Ain't called her in two days, gotta let her mind wonder
But when she miss me, she call to tell me to jump on her
That's why I don't mind breakin' her off, 'cause she ain't with the drama
If you done repped it before, you know how to cuff lil' mama
You know she gotta be somethin', 'cause I done beat her hunda
Babe snatchin, not now, I'm tellin ya, I promise
I exposed her to real, and now she hate lame
