113 (band):
113 is a French hip hop group with African and Caribbean roots originating in the North and West Africa and the Island of Guadeloupe, formed in the Parisian suburb of Vitry-sur-Seine. Their most famous song is Tonton du Bled - Uncle from the "land" (bled in maghreban Arabic).
The group's name comes from the name of the building in a housing estate where the members spent much of their youth, as well as a take on the US hip hop group 112.
[edit] Controversy
In November 2005, a UMP deputy, François Grosdidier, listed the group in his complaint against rap groups, which according to him, incited racism and hate.[who?]Many figures on the left denounced him for his perceived advocacy of censorship.
