Jalen Hughes, professionally known as Thirteendegrees (stylized as Thirteendegrees°), is an American rapper and record producer. Starting his career in 2023, he first gained significant attention after the release of his album Clique City Vol. 2.
Musical style
Hughes' music is often compared to that of the "swag era" and early 2010s hip-hop, blending R&B and trap, and including auto-tuned vocals, nostalgic visuals, and jerk-related sounds.[2][3] He stated his influences were what he "grew up in—the trap era, the Tumblr era, early Instagram."[1] His music has been compared to that of Sofaygo, Young Money, and Young Thug.[4] He is considered to be at the forefront of the "New Chicago" movement, named as the successor to Chicago drill.[5]
