th1rt3en is the combative new project from legendary Jamaica, Queens rapper Pharoahe <\/strong>Monch joined by musical assassins Jack White drummer Daru Jones + renowned guitarist, Marcus Machado. A dynamic, dizzying exploration of hyper consumerism and political corruption, police brutality and murder, the prestigious trio previously shared album cuts Fight<\/em> (ft. Cypress Hill)<\/a> and 666 (Three Six Word Stories)<\/em><\/a> which finds the band musically covering Black Sabbath\u2019s Hand of Doom<\/em>. The band gave their first live performance on their dynamic NPR Tiny Desk Concert<\/a>, released on Monday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

th1rt3en has shared the searing Cult 45<\/em> single + video to coincide with their debut album release. Monch describes the song as \u201cverbal voodoo\u201d and wants it to speak to an exorcism from hyper consumerism and political corruption, with 45 only as a backdrop for a commentary on the entire system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Executive produced, written and directed by Pharoahe Monch, he shares: \u201cThe video is a continuation from Fight in the sense that the band is exorcising yet another systemic thorn from the soul of the oppressed. Police brutality against the black man. The occult\u2019s manipulation of the masses behind the veil of democracy. This song speaks to the overall temperament of the album. The frustration with fighting the evil perpetrated against us. th1rt3en is tired of holding hands and singing hymns. We\u2019ve been assigned from a higher power to combat you on your own terms. In this existence head on. Here, hold this voodoo! Fuck you!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
