I don’t think I’ve ever sat through any of these Tiny Desk Concerts from start to finish, that is until NPR Music uploaded Th1rt3en‘s home presentation on January 18th. I literally just watched all 17 minutes and 29 seconds of Pharoahe Monch (on the mic), Daru Jones (on drums) and Marcus Machado (on guitar). Collectively all three men are known as Th1rt3en – a hardcore hip-hop trio that is just amazing!

If you are into authentic hip-hop, not the water-down bubble rap that’s popular now, but real MC, beats, relevant lyrics etc. then click here and treat yourself. I have to warn you though that this is not for the faint of heart. These men are explosive in their respective areas and the content is rated PG.
