13Five Detroit, MI (by way of Lexington, KY) "When Wu-Tang meets Outkast and invites Dead Prez to dinner, that’s when you will understand 13Five" - iSupport Media Group You can find 13Five's name in the same circle that mentions Jon Connor, Boldy James, Black Milk, Bronze Nazareth, Guilty Simpson, Danny Brown, and all of Michigan’s emcees that speak from the mind and heart; representing hip hop in its entirety. 13 grew up battling emcees with his group Madd Militia and racism of the 80s and 90s in Lexington, Kentucky; one of the last states to ratify the 13, 14, and 15th Amendments. The son of a lead singer turned mechanic and a visual artist turned housekeeper, 13 has seen life stifle creativity for as far back as he can remember; vowing to never allow the world to drain him of the same spirit that feeds his music. • 13Five's style has been hailed by underground hip-hop critics for its [intelligence, insight, wit, and powerful lyricism – Flint Journal]. • 13 has been touted as being a [refreshingly innovative new talent on the hip-hop scene who has the ability to appeal to the purists and commercialists alike. – Mlive.com] 13Five's love for hip-hop culture and its adherents is bigger than the music itself. Knowing that his art can be a vehicle for change, 13 has been known to conduct hip-hop and social awareness workshops to help “disadvantaged” and “at-risk” youth tackle tough personal and social issues, increase literacy, and foster self-esteem with critical thinking. Now a member of Sun Tzu Cadre, an associated group of the Wu-Tang Clan based in Detroit, Michigan, 13 is preparing for the next phase of the journey that lies ahead; still remaining true to his childhood promise to himself, with Kentucky stamped all over his music, his speech, and his heart.
