Noongar Wongi artist Inkabee has dropped his debut mixtape 'Chapter 14', with the release arriving on his 14th birthday and marking his first full body of work.

Released via First Nations Focus, the project brings together more than 10 tracks from across Inkabee's catalogue and frames them as a time capsule of music written and recorded between the ages of 10 and 13.

The mixtape documents his evolution as both an artist and a young person, blending his hip-hop foundations with a stronger RnB influence, a more melodic sound, interludes, archival audio and newer material that points towards his next chapter.

Inkabee said the mixtape captures how much his sound has changed over time.

"When I listen back, I can hear such a change in my voice, the sound, and even just my confidence," he said.

"It's like the earlier tracks were the foundation, and now I'm closer to the true sound of my artistry."

'Chapter 14' draws together key songs from Inkabee's early career alongside tracks now officially released for the first time.

The release includes his debut single 'Beat the Odds', two versions of 'Rabbit Proof Fence' recorded at ages 10 and 13, and newer material including 'Vibez' and 'On The Move', which signal both sonic and personal growth.

Inkabee said releasing the project on his birthday felt like the right way to mark that shift.

"Time's gone so fast, it's mad, and dropping this on my birthday just felt right," he said.

"Closing one chapter and starting the next.

"Though I still love these songs, they still have that energy and value."

The mixtape also serves as a scrapbook of the moments that have shaped Inkabee's rise.

From Boorloo / Perth, Inkabee first broke through at 10 years old with Beat the Odds and has since built a profile as one of Australia's emerging young voices, while continuing to shape his own identity.

His career has included a widely shared viral performance for Chance the Rapper, becoming the youngest artist to perform on triple j's Like A Version with a rendition of 'Where Is the Love' by Black Eyed Peas, and millions of views across viral performances including his triple j Bars of Steel appearance with We Dat Good.

He was also recognised as triple j's Feature Artist in 2024.

His performances have taken him to America's Got Talent, SXSW Sydney and Austin, the International Indigenous Music Summit, and New York City's Central Park.

Inkabee said the mixtape reflects that growth and the journey people have followed with him.

"I love that people are really on that journey with me," he said.

"And it proves that evolution as an artist just happens so naturally.

"I can't believe how much I've changed since writing the first track."

He said the release is also a sign of what is still to come.

"I want to show my fans that I'm only getting better, and this is just the beginning of where I'm going," Inkabee said.

Chapter 14 is out now via First Nations Focus and available on all streaming platforms.
