In 2008, the trio played in between cities, states, and even countries, including Kaiserslautern, Bamberg and Germany.[10][11] Travis Porter garnered popularity through the release of their mixtapes, and expanding number of performances. To date, the group's four biggest underground hits are: "Black Boy, White Boy", "Uh Huh", "Go Shorty Go", and "All the Way Turnt Up". During the summer of 2010, the group appeared in one of Atlanta's biggest concerts, Birthday Bash[12] and on The Mo'Nique Show.[13] They even performed with Canada’s own Drake at BMI’s Unsigned Artist showcase in Atlanta.[14] Even though they were being unsigned, they still were working with most notable signed artists, such as Roscoe Dash, Fast Life Yungstaz and Waka Flocka Flame.[15] Travis Porter was also featured on MTV Jams Feb 5.[16] The group also received Myspace’s #1 unsigned group title.[17] In 2010, the group's non-album single, "Go Shorty Go" would be entering on the Billboard{{'s}} Top R&B/Hip-Hop chart.[18] They also has recently joined with the Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI).{{When|date=April 2014}} The trio was honored at the 2010s Underground Music Awards in New York City, with other well-known underground artists, such as J.

I don't know about that other stuff. Handle your business".[20] But the group would eventually end up signing a record deal to Jive Records.[21]

Controversy

Roscoe Dash
