Formed in 2016.
HONEST BOYZ® is a comprehensive entertainment HIPHOP group, which consists of EXILE NAOTO, a member of EXILE and the J SOUL BROTHERS III leader, and SWAY from DOBERMAN INFINITY.

This group made a spectacular debut with "PART TIME HERO", the theme song of "NIGHT HERO NAOTO", a TV drama starring NAOTO.
Their 2nd single "YO!" was featured in the soundtrack of the movie "HiGH & LOW THE MOVIE 2 / END OF SKY". These 2 songs both took up the overall 1st place on the iTunes Music Chart.

The group's 3rd single "HeartBreakerZ feat. CRAZYBOY" was released in 2018. Its analog vinyl record (7-inch size) provided in a limited quantity (777 copies) with a serial number was released at the same time and sold out on the release day.

With it being uncertain whether they would have a new release every year,
the group's much-anticipated 1st album "HBZ" was released in 2024, after about 8 years since their debut.


It was thought that things would continue to develop slowly.

However, the group released "First Step feat. Ashley" in 2025, which was selected as the theme song for NTV's program "DANCE BATTLE × AUDITION" and the designated song for LDH D.LEAGUER AUDITION.
