“Thirteen’s knack for harmonies and songwriting ultimately separate him from other acts in his lane.” - Pitchfork
“Thirteen’s off-kilter melange of influences, combined with his ear for particularly memorable loops and hooks, tilts his tunes towards dance and pop music, appealing to a broader audience.” - The FADER
NEW YORK, NY (June 13, 2025) -- Carving out a lane as one of the most compelling voices in the underground scene, Thirteendegrees° returns with “PALACE” — a bold new single produced by chart-topping hitmaker BNYX (Drake, Travis Scott, Yeat). The track is available across all major streaming platforms -- listen to “PALACE” with BNYX HERE.
“PALACE” is a sharp evolution of Thirteendegrees° sonic identity, a masterclass in tension and release, delivered with haunting clarity and textured production. BNYX’s futuristic, layered beat gives the track a cinematic weight, while Thirteendegrees° commanding delivery and confident lyrics cement their place as an underground force to be reckoned with, rapping, “Everybody know me in Atlanta, NY and LA even Washington, DC…I’m a n***a with status.”
About the release Thirteen shared, “BNYX sent me this beat about 3 months ago, so I know he was prolly wondering if I was actually gonna hop on it -- but lol, art takes time! … and we here now.”
BNYX went on to add, “I named the beat file 13 degrees. Thirteen was the only vocal I could hear execute the vision I had for the song. He did exactly what I imagined he’d do.”
With a sound that’s both enigmatic and unrelenting, Thirteendegrees° has steadily built a reputation as a formidable presence in the underground hip-hop scene, emerging as the face of the #New Chicago movement. Heralded by tastemakers and critics alike, the rising artist is becoming a sought after live performer. This month he takes the stage at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash, after following a sold-out hometown show at Reggie's Rock Club and having a standout run at SXSW.
This release follows a year of mounting momentum for Thirteendegrees° fueled by his January mixtape Clique City Vol. 2 and the fan favorite single "Da Problem Solva." The projec t showcased his melodic flair and nostalgic MySpace-era aesthetic. It pushed his artist discovery to a boiling point with early champions only adding gasoline to the flame. The FADER named him one of “The 30 coolest artists right now” while Pigeons & Planes included him as “Best New Artists for Spring 2025.” Simultaneously Pitchfork noted, "Chicago’s Thirteendegrees ° is a standout from the ongoing nostalgia parade, a rap game time traveler who probably watches 106 & Park like white 30-somethings watch Friends.”
As whispers of a full-length project continue to build, “PALACE” marks a defining moment in the artist’s ascent.
