BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE are a 7 member J-pop boy group under the talent agency LDH JAPAN. The group was formed on 23rd April 2018 with the idea of making a fusion of the renowned J-pop male group EXILE and the hip-hop male group DOBERMAN INFINITY. A collaboration was held between LDH and EXILE's founder HIRO, and the latter group to determine the lineup. The potential members were selected from the finalists of EXILE Presents VOCAL BATTLE AUDITION 5 and winners of PROJECT TARO.

After presenting a final group performance at the end of a 10 day survival training camp that proved their ability to work together, the group name BALLISTIK BOYZ was announced on 1st May 2018. This newly assembled hip-hop oriented unit became a part of the collective supergroup EXILE TRIBE that carries EXILE's legacy. Aside from their concept, they're set apart in the umbrella unit for the fact that they're the first ever group among all to have every member participate in vocal activities, whereas the other groups' members have fixed separate roles for singing and/or dancing.
