Representing Maroubra in Sydney's South, Kobie Dee is one of the most exciting new voices emerging in Australian rap. Combining a unique gift for storytelling, poignant social commentary and an ability to connect with audiences on an emotive level, he clearly sets himself apart from his contemporaries.

His latest release, Role Models is his third single this year released through Bad Apples. A hard-hitting track about the cycle of poverty and drug use, it joins a growing catalogue of powerful material that has garnered over 7 million streams to date.
