Teen Rapper Inkabee Wows with Black Eyed Peas Cover

Inkabee, a young Noongar Wongi rapper from Perth, recently made his triple j Like A Version debut, performing a compelling full-band cover of the Black Eyed Peas' 2003 hit, "Where Is the Love?" He chose the song instinctively, feeling it perfectly captured the world's current state of division and need for compassion. This performance marks him as one of the youngest artists to ever appear in the studio.

His musical journey began at just 11 years old with the release of his debut track, "Beat the Odds," alongside his father, rapper Flewnt. A subsequent collaboration, "We Dat Good," achieved viral success, garnering over 10 million views online after a live performance. Inkabee's trajectory has included significant milestones such as being introduced by Chance the Rapper at SXSW Sydney, where he was hailed as "the future of Australian hip-hop."

Further highlighting his growing influence, Inkabee has performed at major events including the AFL Indigenous round at Optus Stadium and Vivid Sydney at the Sydney Opera House. He was also recognized as the triple j Unearthed High Indigenous Initiative winner, an honor shared by notable artists like Genesis Owusu and The Kid LAROI.
