WHO IS TRAVIS PORTER ?
Originally formed in 2006 as the Hard Hitters, the trio officially switched to the enigmatic moniker Travis Porter in 2008. MC’s Ali (Lakeem Mattox), Quez (Donquez Woods), and Strap (Harold Duncan) grew up together in Decatur, GA, and got together with the hope of taking over the rap world from the underground up. The irreverent group began to cultivate a strong internet presence, releasing videos through their YouTube page and releasing four mixtapes, Who Is Travis Porter?, I'm a Differenter, I’m a Differenter 2, and Streets R’Us in 2009. The group caused some controversy that year when they inadvertently released a Roscoe Dash single they did a guest spot on, “All the Way Turnt Up,” on one of their own tapes. Dash eventually re-recorded the song with Soulja Boy and released the new version the following year. After releasing three more mixtapes, Proud 2 Be a Problem, I Am Travis Porter, and Differenter Gang, in 2010, the band found themselves being courted by labels hoping to bring them to a larger audience. Travis Porter eventually decided to sign with Jive, where they felt they would get the most attention, near the end of 2010.

Travis Porter has taken over car speakers, air waves, mp3 players, you name it. They have demonstrated that they have what it takes to make it in this industry by forming their own Independent I've watched Travis Porter become into the Superstars that they are today! Back in 2008, i joined a website called (SYG) www.SpitYoGame.com where i meet a guy named Charlie Jabaley who was known as "CEO Charlie". Charlie was the brains behind SYG and used the site to promote and jump start a lot of independent upcoming artist's careers. I remember when i got a call from Charlie, he was telling me about this group of three young guys that he had just signed. Since i was a producer and the group needed tracks as they began to record, i sent them a few of my beats. I ended up producing two songs for them, "Who the H#ll is Travis?" and "Just Hit Me Up". Travis Porter began to create a buzz over the internet and eventually started getting booked for shows. They have really become young moguls of their time and are only starting their journey to success. Travis Porter has shown their creativeness throughout their every life tasks, numerous youtube videos, and their originality shown in their music. Their latest mixtape "Music Money Magnums" just topped all the other mixtapes on www.livemixtapes.com.... That mixtape has gotten over 10, 400 votes to push them to the top of the mixtape game! over the years, mixtapes have became more and more prevalent. Travis Porter is on the rise and now that they have signed to Jive Records, they are now working on their debut album. Im proud to say that I have watched them grow and mature over the years! Look out for their album dropping around the summer time. SALUTE TO PORTER HOUSE MUSIC GROUP! Follow Travis Porter on twitter to find out their latest updates @IamTravisPorter.
