Da Floataz

Da Floataz is a Charlotte‑born rap collective built on originality, independence, and pure Carolina creativity. Founded by Holly Ford of Holly Ford Music Group, the group brings together three distinct artists — Indeux Shabazz, Westside Ree, and Rappin’ Mitch — each with their own world, sound, and cult following.

Da Floataz broke onto the scene with projects like the Drop Tha Addy EP, the full Drop Tha Addy Album, and the underground classic Empty Parking Lots & Pimpin’ Mixtape. Their momentum carried into the Diamond Cloud Tour, expanding their universe into merch, visuals, and curated playlists that define the Floataz lifestyle.

What makes Da Floataz different is the balance of their identities:

• Indeux Shabazz — the architect, a lyrical philosopher with cinematic storytelling.

• Westside Ree — the voice, known for his gravelled, raspy, soulful delivery.

• Rappin’ Mitch — the catalyst, the energy source behind the group’s raw, independent spirit.

Together, they’ve built a creative movement that blends music, fashion, visuals, and Carolina culture into one evolving universe. Every project, playlist, and merch drop expands the world of Da Floataz — a world rooted in authenticity, driven by vision, and powered by the South.

Da Floataz isn’t just a rap group. They’re a brand, a culture, and a Carolina force to elevate Carolina creativity through originality, independence, and cultural truth. The mission is to build a movement where music, storytelling, and visual identity come together to represent the real South, unfiltered, innovative, and rooted in lived experience. Creating art that floats above trends, honors our community, and pushes the boundaries of what independent artists can build. Through music, visuals, fashion, and collective vision, Da Floataz is committed to shaping a legacy that inspires the next generation of creators to own their voice, protect their craft, and lead with authenticity.
