ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: ZONE 4′S I15

i15.jpg

With the launch of Polow Da Don’s Zone 4 label comes I15, named after the interstate that connects Las Vegas to Los Angeles. The members of the group consist of two singers and one rapper, Castro native of Las Vegas, Das, native of Chicago and Flash of Compton, who fashion themselves as the self-proclaimed “male TLC.” Their first single, “Lost In Love” features super-producer and rapper, Polow Da Don, who is slowly building up his Zone 4 empire with artist like Rich Boy and Keri Hilson.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing I15 perform, and the boys have a charisma and stage presence that’s undeniable. Their single “Lost In Love” is a smooth R&B track that is slightly reminiscent of a 90′s flavor. I’m digging the production and their voices ride the track nicely. They’ve had a few more tracks to leak online which have sounded nice as well, so I’m hoping that these Interscope/Zone 4 signees get the steam they need to get their project out.

Check out their video below…

Be on the look out for I15 and make sure to check out their official site, i15music.com. Also, make sure you show them some love on their MySpace page, linked above!

    Like the song. Just in case you would like to hear a little more about them check out Soulja Girl by SouljaBoy Tellem, Daz (the one in the middle) is the one singing the hook.

  16. realestnycsoldier

    That’s cool I wish them luck..I have spent sometime on myself and was familiar with their sound..there is also another rapper/producer in the fashion of polow the don I like named Kayser9soze I found on myspace and some white kid named dzk too..i’m telling you ppl laugh but there is alot of talent on myspace if you take the time to filter thru the garbage.

  17. realestnycsoldier

    I meant “myspace” not myself… Oh yeah check out this soul singer that’s on there too..she’s on the top artists list if you search by genre..very reminiscent of jill scott..

  18. Vanessa Olay 7

    Brian…why do you love THE CLUTCH/POLOW productions or associaitons with them so much…it’s like they can’t go wrong and it’s weired because you diss other artist for no reason.

  26. littlebit2006

    I metr these guys in Oakland a while back at the Black College Expo and they are hella cool, and fine as hell.

  27. lissa

    hmmm don’t know yet

  28. s0flyy

    I’ve always loved I-15 !
    I’m so glad they finally got signed to a major label.
    They kinda old though.
    They been out since around ’02-’03 … they were on a Southern California based
    label called Monopoly Music. 4Deep (The A’z), LeMarvin,
    2xL, and Nashay were also signed to that label.

  29. OHH THOSE THE DUDES FROM THE SOULJA GIRL VIDEO. HMMM… THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE DOES SOMETHING TO ME. HE TO DAYUUM FINE! WHOI!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. JOEY

    omg i love these dudes ! like i seriously been down with them for the past 6yrs years and all the material i have heard is nicceee !!! u cant sleep on them. 4real they are truly something serious

  31. JOEY

    oh & i got over 30 songs of their music on imeem. just go to imeem, type in i15 and its the very first thing that pops up =] .. like omg sorry im havin a moment …….. im so fxckin glad that they bout to blow up. i was waitin like when da hell is cl gonna do a thing on them and here we are lol. nevermind me =p

  32. Mz_Lil Booty

    OMG its bout to be another B2K with all the pandomonium lol. But the song wasnt that bad but i’m tired of these groups coming out they should give it a rest for a minute because they come out with one song and thats it. Sometimes i be like was it their plan to just make a single. And does anybody else be wanting to knw about O Ryan Omarions brother I liked his Take It Slow song.

  33. Lalena Cas

To them hatin a$$ dudes, don’t be mad cause they got your girl’s panties wet!! And to them hatin a$$ chicken heads, sorry they won’t give you the time of day!!! ISLANDERS!!!! I love you guys!!!

  34. TAISH4U

  35. i’m bored *yawn* maybe i’ll check out their other songs on myspace because this ain’t the shit at all..

  36. okay i checked the page..they need to put another song on dat thing..

  37. Wasn’t that song given to Mario or Chris Brown or maybe One Chance at first? I’ve already heard that before and it wasn’t this group.

  38. tnkbabe

    DEY WERE ALSO DA ONES THAT SANG THE HOOK ON SOULJA GIRL!

  39. superman

    They don’t remind me much of TLC…. They don’t have no character. Song is alright, very forgettable

  40. Becca the Promo Mami

    that guy on the 2nd verse is STUNNING! ahhhhhhh!

    but the rapper is sexy too.

    –becca

  41. BeautifulBlessing

    Flash (the rapper) Has a black girlfiriend too…Or he Had one when i knew them…

  42. Dude to the far left is FLY!
    (looking that is)

    He’s damn sexy.

  43. SheSoCrazy

    This song is played.
    Anyways we don’t need anymore bubblegum boy groups ugh. More lil’ boys for chicks to drool over.

  44. Just watched the video(heard the song)

    It has a nice lil groove. I would bang it in my car.

    LOL @ me getting flashbacks of the Diddy & Mase “Feels So Good” video. I wanted someone to hop out in a shiny suit.

    The rapping Jon B wasn’t needed though in this song..he killed it for me.

  45. BC

    @38, wow. I didn’t even read any negative comments (and I read them all) and here you come talking about haters. Guess you’re headed to the bank to cash that check they sent you. LOL.

    But seriously. The song is just okay. The dudes got some talent on the singing (the rapping was unnecessary really), but the song is nothing special. Kinda boring really. And the lyrics are so cliche. When are R&B artists (mostly male) going to realize that if the song is full of “right now slang”, in 6 months won’t nobody be checkin for the song because it’ll sound dated? Try using a thesaurus instead of urbandictionary.com. LOL.

    I’d have to hear more before I judged them as an actual music act though. They might be the next B2K.

  46. a.k.a. new yorker

    hate to admit it but i like it. there’s something chill about these guys, something that one chance is missing. they seem to have tons of energy and aren’t trying too hard to look all smooth and sexy, they’re just having fun and that’s sweet

    btw the dude with the cornrows is a cutie

  47. JOEY

    they all got black girlfriends lol. but what does that matter anyway??? hmm just wondering. and flash (the rapper) and das (singer on the 2nd hook) both have a baby if you want some random ass information. they are soo cute !!! =]

  48. leah

    Messing w/ “da don” they wont all have black girlfriends for too long, lol. They are alright, the the song is just ok, but they are nice on the eyes.

  49. CASTRO LOVER

    CASTRO.. IS THE BEST!! I LOVE HIM MAN.. HIS SEXY ASS!!.. EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MAN IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! BEAUTIFUL ASS VOICE!!

  50. I LOVE CASTRO

    FINALLY A YOUNG GROUP THAT CAN ACTUALLY SING!! THAT BOY CASTRO IS PUTTING IT DOWN! WITH HIS CUTE ASS

  51. castro wifey
