1300 (pronounced 'one-three-hundred') is a Sydney-based creative collective that has redefined the landscape of the Korean-Australian diaspora through aggressive, experimental hip-hop. sweat and Nerdie, the group operates as a self-contained unit handling everything from music and video to graphic design.
Their sound identity is built on a foundation of industrial-leaning trap, characterized by heavy distortion, non-linear song structures, and a unique bilingual lyrical approach that mirrors their multicultural upbringing. Since their 2021 debut, they have moved from garage-born outsiders to critical darlings, bridging the gap between the Australian indie scene and the South Korean rap underground. Their work is often compared to the likes of Brockhampton for their collective energy and Balming Tiger for their subversive take on Korean music culture. Critics frequently highlight their ability to maintain a 'raw' aesthetic while delivering high-fidelity, complex production that challenges the boundaries of both rap and electronic music.
