Initially formed in 2006 as the Hard Hitters, the trio officially switched to the enigmatic moniker Travis Porter in 2008. MCs Ali (Lakeem Mattox), Quez (Donquez Woods), and Strap (Harold Duncan) grew up together in Decatur, Georgia, and formed the band with the hope of taking over the rap world from the underground up.
The irreverent crew began to cultivate a strong Internet presence, releasing videos through its 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. After releasing three more mixtapes, Proud 2 Be a Problem, I Am Travis Porter, and Differenter Gang, in 2010, Travis Porter found themselves being courted by labels hoping to bring them to a broader audience. They eventually decided to sign with Jive near the end of 2010, but the label would subsequently liquidate in 2011. The group's debut album, From Day 1, finally arrived in 2012 on R.C.A. with productions from Diplo, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, and others.
