Castro, Das and Flash, who formed their group six years ago while still in their mid-teens, received their big break during the summer of 2006 when they signed with superstar producer Polow Da Don, who was then on the heels of explosive works with Ciara, Fergie, Ludacris and Rich Boy. When i15 met Polow they were in negotiations to sign with another label. But things went awry when the other label had different ideas for the group.
i15 jumped at the opportunity to work with Polow. Within just a few months of collaborating in Atlanta, Polow secured i15 a deal through Interscope Records.
