How Old Is Rapper Plies

How Old Is Rapper Plies 

Plies (born Algernod Lanier Washington on July 1, 1976) is an American rapper from Fort Myers, Florida signed to Slip-N-Slide Records. However, Plies chose to stay with Atlantic rather than move over to Def Jam.

His first single, "Got 'Em Hatin'" was a street and club banger. His debut album, The Real Testament, is expected to be released August 7, 2007.

Plies was the creator of the song "I Wanna Love You" (also called "I Wanna Fuck You"), which is a hit song for rappers Akon and Snoop Dogg. "I Wanna Love You" achieved unexpected sudden success, reaching the 17th spot on the Billboard Hot 100 without a promotional video or physical CD release, and then topping the chart for two consecutive weeks.

Signed to Slip-N-Slide in 2004 after recording his first track, "Tell Dem Krackers Dat," the Ft. Myers, FL-based Plies built anticipation for his official debut album with a couple mixtape releases, along with an appearance on Trina's "So Fresh."

He found some trouble when, during a performance at a Gainesville nightclub on July 2, 2006, an argument about set length escalated into gunfire.
Two members of his entourage were convicted of attempted murder, while Plies and a third associate were charged with illegal possession of concealed weapons. Originally a featured MC on Akon's "I Wanna Love You," Plies was replaced by Snoop Dogg, quite possibly due to the altercation. His debut album, The Real Testament, which featured the single "Shawty," was set to be released in August 2007.
