Kobie Dee has announced the arrival of his latest EP, Chapter 26 due to drop on July 26 via Briggs founded Bad Apples Music.
“Chapter 26 is a journey through my life," said Kobie in a statement alongside the announcement.
"From being a young Blak man in Australia, to becoming a father and navigating fatherhood.
"From a place of having an absent father myself to then meeting my fiance and having my second child, starting to grow my family, then navigating my way through my career at this point in time and being conscious of the time that I have right now and how I'm going to use it."
Chapter 26 is described as "vulnerable and visceral" and will explore the contrast between Kobie's current life and the journey it took to get here.
