Z-Slim was born Ozzie Cox on March 24th, 1984 to parents of Bahamian descent in Rockledge, Florida. Growing up and watching his parents make bad decisions, he found an outlet by spending his youth playing sports and writing rhymes, dreaming of one day picking a different path for himself. By the time he was 19, he was already selling his own mix tapes and playing shows in his hometown. After getting the attention of his uncle, James Cox, they started Flo-Ridaz Incorporated, a company designed to help promote Z-Slim and he was soon playing shows from Atlanta to Miami, and the Bahamas, opening for artists such as Lil Wayne, T.I., Juvenile, Rick Ross and Yung Joc.
In 2008, after recording 7 mix tapes and playing dozens of shows around the southeast, Z-Slim was ready to take his music to the next level. While recording at Full Sail University, he met Ridiculous Nick, a seasoned producer working on his degree in Recording Arts, and after a couple months, they decided to team up and create Z-Slim's first full length LP, a journey through space entitled "Flostronomy".Soon they were in the studio, crafting a new style of music that sounded like funk, rap, R&B, rock and jazz in outer space behind talented lyrics that promote positivity, peace and triumphant messages with a mellow, soulful lyrical style. After a couple of months in the studio, the album was almost done and it was time to start a band. By now, Nick had started to meet some very talented musicians and soon assembled a 6 piece live band to rival all other hip-hop groups out there.Named the Flo Boys, this new band was formed with a mission to conquer Florida with live hip-hop. Made up of Will "Chess Pains" Busby on electric guitar, Jonathan "Sir Faita Flo" Faita on electric bass, Jose "JC Flo" Carbonell on drums, and Nick "Flodiculous Nick" Palmer on the keyboards, the Flo Boys have been hard at work perfecting songs and promoting their new vibe with high hopes for the future.Z-Slim is the Original Flo-Rida; with over 13 albums recorded under his belt. It will not be long before her signs a mulit million dollar deal. Focusing on his solo career he is a Free Agent to he music industry. No limitations to work with any Producer or Company on a joint venture basis.He is currently working on 3 more albums for the new year 2010.
