1300, drops their pre-release single, ‘clear out the room,’!
On June 24, Korean-Australian alternative hip-hop group 1300 (pronounced one three hundred) released their new single, ‘clear out the room,’ alongside a self-directed MV that showcases the group’s explosive performance style and distinct artistic identity as a group unlike any other.
The single marks their first release since signing with Universal Music Korea (UMK) and is the first preview of their highly anticipated forthcoming debut album, ‘ILLSAMGONGGONG.’
The single captures the fearless energy and genre-defying creativity and is described by the group as “a declaration that we’re back to kill the stage on a global scale.” The MV combines high-impact visuals with the group’s rebellious edge and uncompromising artistic vision, while the track emphasizes the group’s ambition to take over stages worldwide with confidence and conviction.
1300 is a five-member collective, composed of rappers DALI, goyo, rako, and producers Nerdie and pokari. The group continues to push boundaries with a sound that effortlessly blends hip-hop, electronic, punk, and alternative influences.
A week prior to this release, Billboard exclusively announced the group’s signing to UMK, with the label describing 1300 as artists who are “reshaping the boundaries of Korean hip-hop” and poised to expand their global reach through the new partnership.
