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.

Got the bitches and the goons but I'm the first
Rose a couple mil and still in the verve
Catch me flushin' through the city shawty no shirt

Blew life in the streets had 'em rebirth
See me on fire hater I know it gotta hurt

Wanna talk business what's in the purse

Who hotter than me nobody sir
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Bet 'cha can't name a hoe who don't want me

On fire dog where my fans
Tell you what to call me promoter best friend
Put yo money on me if you want win
Lot of rappers sittin' home on the weekend
Got a waitin' list shawty put y'all off in
Can't move me dog from one hundred thirty grand
Try to give me twenty nine if ya think I'm playin'
Who runnin' the streets where all the moats end
Streets done spoke shawty I'm the man
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Somebody put me out I'm on fire
Please tell them feds I'm retired
Know a lot of rappers for hire
Streets don't fuck with you, you a liar
Plies real you preaching to the choir
Yo bud's in the streets expired
Count a hundred grand I'm kinda tired
Keep your hoe from round me 'fore I buy her
Goons love me I'm they supplier
Street-cred don't get no higher
Got the forty homie cause its lighter
Sincerely yours Mr. Pliers
[Chorus:Repeat x2]

This was an exciting time in music when it wasn't so saturated like it is right now. I remember looking forward to these artists and the music they would drop next. They felt like real superstars. Now it's just some teen on drugs with autotune.
