113

In 1998, the group released Ni barreaux, ni barrières, ni frontières, their debut EP, which included the track "Truc de fou", featuring Doudou Masta, and the song "Associations de malfaiteurs", a collaboration with Kery James, which brought 113 to prominence. The EP was followed by their debut studio album, Les Princes de la ville, in October 1999. Thanks to the album and the song "Tonton du bled", the group won two awards at Victoires de la Musique in March 2000 for "Rap, Reggae, or Groove Album of the Year" and "New Artist of the Year". That same year, they released their second album, 113 fout la merde; it was less successful than Les Princes de la ville, and thus the album was reissued a year later titled 113 dans l'urgence, with the six tracks from the original album replaced by seven new ones, including the song "10 minutes chrono", which is from the soundtrack of the movie Taxi 3.
In 2005, 113 released their third album, 113 degrés, before taking a five-year break; they returned in late 2010 with their fourth album, Universel. Since 2011, 113 has been inactive, although Rim'K, AP, and Mokobé have continued their own musical careers, and only Rim'K and AP have collaborated on tracks together.
