In Case We Die is the debut mixtape by American recording artist Tinashe. It was first released on February 1, 2012 via her official website.

As an executive producer, Tinashe enlisted a variety of musical producers including B. Hendrixx, Wes Tarte, K-BeatZ, Yung Shaq aka now PianoBoy, J. Mixx, Myles Morgan, Bobby Brackins and producing partner Nic Nac were involved as well. The album was preceded by the release of the buzz single, "Chainless", "My High", "This Feeling" and "Boss".
