Stray Kids MIXTAPE [Pre-Debut Album]

STAYs, let's take it back to where the chaos began. 🎤 Stray Kids' pre-debut album MIXTAPE dropped before they even officially debuted and already had the entire K-pop industry shook. Seven self-written tracks? A 176-page photobook? "Hellevator" as track one? These kids said "we're not waiting for permission to be legendary" and honestly, they were right.

This is the album that proved 3Racha wasn't playing around — every single track was written and composed by the members themselves during the Stray Kids survival show. That raw, unfiltered energy that makes SKZ who they are? It started right here.

Order your Stray Kids MIXTAPE from Kpop Exchange and get it shipped from our Denver warehouse — no customs fees, no international shipping anxiety, just pre-debut excellence delivered to your door.

Album Description:

MIXTAPE is Stray Kids' pre-debut extended play (EP), released on January 8, 2018 under JYP Entertainment. Yes, you read that right — this album came out BEFORE their official debut, and it still sold over 45,000 copies in its first month. The kids were cooking from day one.

The album contains all seven tracks that Stray Kids performed during their survival show on Mnet, showcasing the group's signature self-production style that would become their trademark. Led by producing unit 3Racha (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han), MIXTAPE delivers everything from the iconic pre-debut anthem "Hellevator" to the nostalgic "4419" — a song literally named after the bus number the members used to take together.

Fun fact: This album proves that Stray Kids has been writing their own music since before they even officially existed as a group. The self-production kings started their reign early. 👑
