with Travis Porter

The duo was formed in 1997 by two childhood friends Tity Boi (Tauheed Epps) and Dolla Boy (Patrick Zyla) in College Park, GA. They created the acronym Playaz which stands for Preparing Legal Assets for Years from A-Z. The duo put all their money together to release their independent album United We Stand, United We Fall. The album had features from Lil Fate, I-20 and others from the Disturbing tha Peacefamily. They were introduced to Ludacris by Lil Fate and soon became good friends as they all shared the same dream. Tity Boi played basketball at Alabama State University in Montgomery, Alabama.

Unfortunately, Playaz Circle ran into bad luck. Tity Boi was shot and Dolla Boy was incarcerated. Their career was at a standstill. After hearing their misfortune, Ludacris reached out and then signed them. They have also been in a commercial with Ludacris for the “Two Miles an Hour” video. Later Tity Boi started a solo career. Also he created the new alias 2 Chainz.
