FLEWNT & INKABEE - “We Dat Good”

SXSW 2024 - OEB Score: 8; Popularity Index: 2

Pairs Well With…CeeLo Green, Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Flyana Boss 

Am I going to give an 11-year-old Australian rapper and his dad a high score for their old-school hip hop tracks? Oh hell yeah I am - INKABEE crushes in a way that is going to have a crowd hopping with grins on their faces. He’s a kid that sounds like a kid, but there’s studied precision in his flow and style that is truly impressive. Influenced by grime, 90s rap, and the origins of hip hop, FLEWNT & INKABEE deal in accessible, fun, and hopeful rhymes that match the father-son relationship at the heart of their music. Ten out of ten on the charm chart, imaginably hearts will light up as soon as they step on stage and lifting up a rap savant kid is the perfect use of thirty minutes at SXSW this year.
