Sydney-based Korean-Australian rap crew 1300 are rewriting the rulebook because there’s no blueprint for what they’re doing – a regenerated vision of your prototypical K-pop boy band, one that is built from the ground up, free of artifice, a product of and for the post-genre streaming age. Composed of rappers rako, goyo, DALI HART, producer-singer Nerdie and producer pokari.sweat, the multi-limbed group subsume the volatility of Soundcloud rap, sweat-doused electronic music and the high-budget sheen of K-hip hop. Centred around fierce independence, authenticity and creativity, the sound of 1300 cannot be defined in pure stylistic terms; instead, they relentlessly chase innovation and excitement through any means necessary.
