The group's debut album Down for Life, was released jointly by Dee Money Entertainment and Asylum Records, in November 2005. Like fellow Atlanta rap group Dem Franchize Boyz, D4L was part of the snap music trend of the mid-2000s, which arguably peaked when rapper Soulja Boy Tell 'Em came out with the number one hit song " Crank That (Soulja Boy)" in 2007. In January 2006, D4L's single " Laffy Taffy" reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The group debuted with "Betcha Can't Do It Like Me", which Billboard claimed to have popularized snap music. D4L signed to the independent Dee Money Entertainment, which released the group's debut in conjunction with Asylum Records. He explained that the group's name stands for "Down for Life". Rapper Shawty Lo (born Carlos Walker) self-funded the group in its early days.
