113 (band)
113 (pronounced "cent-treize", [sɑ̃ tʁɛz]) is a French hip hop band, including African and Caribbean roots originating in North and West Africa and the island of Guadeloupe, formed in their most famous song "Tonton du Bled" ("Uncle From The Land"; 'bled' being a term from Maghrebi Arabic).
The band's name comes from the name of the building in a housing estate where the members spent much of their youth; additionally, it's a play on the U.S. R&B group 112.
