SXSW has always been the place where the underground thrives and the next wave in music takes shape and this year, ThirteenDegrees is making serious noise. From commanding the stage at Underground Sound and Hyperpop Daily showcases to a surprise performance during Karrahbooo’s set for his bubbling song, “Da Problem Solva,” he’s proving why he’s one to watch.
As the rising face of the #NewChicago movement, ThirteenDegrees is redefining the city’s sound moving beyond drill to embrace a more melodic, emotionally charged vibe. Think of it as a natural evolution, with legends like Juice WRLD paving the way for this new, magnetic wave of music.
SXSW has only amplified the momentum around his Clique City Vol. 2 project underground music media has been clamoring to talk to him.
There’s so much motion happening around ThirteenDegrees as he cements himself in the underground scene with his nostalgic aesthetic and undeniable presence.
More new music is on the way stay tuned!
