We had the good fortune of connecting with Da Floataz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Da, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
That you get out of life what you put into it. If you invest your time into education or life skills, you will reap the reward of your hard labor.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
We are a Hip-Hop Duo from Charlotte, NC called DA Floataz. The rap group consist of Rappin” Mitch and Indeux (pronounced Induce) Shabazz. Both artists have had individual careers prior to linking up in 2020.

The journey typically started as childhood friends working on music together and as the collaborations continued formed a group called Da Floataz. Throughout the years the journey has been a consistent grind of networking, closed doors, mis-opportunities, janky promoters, bad managers and the overall music industry politics.

The win is actually making a plan and following through no matter the obstacles. We’ve learned that knowledge is the golden ticket in the music industry, and we equipped ourselves with the knowledge necessary to navigate independently in the business.

We want the world to know that the product we produce is a soundtrack to our lives and we are dedicated to the Art of the Music.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If you are in the city, you definitely will need to go downtown and hit some of the live events, NODA is a very artsy side of town a lot of live music and Restaurants to check out. Midnight Diner is a very popular spot downtown as well.

Papa Doc’s is a very nice venue on the lake and for your shopping needs there’s a great outlet right off the main highway.

If you bring the family, there are a lot of amusement parks and fun centers to choose from as well.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Charlotte, NC. The music that we make is centered around our childhood, growing up facing challenges in the inner-city and turning the pain into passion.
