about
Playa Fly (born Ibn Young on September 2, 1977) is a rapper from Memphis, Tennessee's South Parkway. Fly was, at one time, an associate of the Three 6 Mafia (then known as Lil' Fly), but he stopped collaborating in 1995 due to monetary disputes and philosophical differences after recording one album under the group's guidance. Pursuing a solo career as Playa Fly, he released one independent album before signing a three album contract with Super Sigg Records. He immediately gained notoriety from the song Triple Bitch Mafia, which lashed out against his former group. Ibn (at the age of 13) was already known in his neighborhood for being one of the youngest dope dealers on the block, after being giving three years to selling rocks, he finally gave it up to try his hand in rap. Ibn not only viewed rap as a less hazardous occupation, but as a way of self expression & communicating his thoughts. Under the title Lil' Fly, Ibn began his career at the age of 16, testing the waters with Don’t Never Test His Pimpin[1] as a start. He eventually became affiliated with DJ Paul & Juicy J of the Triple 6 Mafia & under the wing of the up & coming producers, Slangin' Rocks was produced. Known for his hook, beat, & Fly's dope game tales (which he wrote while he was still a dope dealer), Slangin' Rocks was an instance success. He was featured on Gangsta Blac's underground hit album, Breakin Da Law, & the Three 6 Mafia's first main stream album, Mystic Stylez. He even had his first album release
