There’s no mistaking the seismic shift when 2Thirteen drops new music. And on March 14, 2025, the shift became a full-blown cultural collision with the release of “Voltron,” a hard-charging, high-concept single that sounds like the soundtrack to a hip-hop anime universe you didn’t know you needed. A collaboration with the enigmatic MAJATRON, the track pulses with mechanical muscle and lyrical ferocity, fusing futuristic vibes with gritty nostalgia in one of the most immersive rap releases of the year.
With a title borrowed from the iconic mech-hero of ‘80s cartoon fame, “Voltron” is more than a clever nod to giant robot fandom—it’s a mission statement. 2Thirteen and MAJATRON don’t just rap; they combine, like the five lion-shaped robots that inspired the song, into something larger than life. The result is a track that’s bold, cinematic, and unapologetically nerdy in the best way possible.
What hits first is the beat—courtesy of producer Surce Beats—a thunderous, space-age composition that sounds like it was forged in a reactor core. Surce’s production doesn’t just support the vocals; it leads them through warp speed. Every layer, from the distorted synths to the chest-rattling bassline, is engineered to take the listener into another dimension. It’s grime, glitch, and boom-bap rolled into one unstoppable sonic tank.
But it’s the interplay between 2Thirteen and MAJATRON that gives “Voltron” its heart. There’s something electric about the way these two MCs bounce off each other—each verse an episode, each bar a battle cry. 2Thirteen’s razor-sharp cadence slices through the haze, his voice laced with urgency and precision. MAJATRON, on the other hand, brings a more unhinged and explosive delivery, injecting the track with a chaotic brilliance that keeps you guessing.
While the lyrics reference androids, galaxies, and next-gen warfare, it’s the human message beneath the metallic surface that lands hardest. “Voltron” is ultimately about power through unity, about finding strength in collaboration—especially in a world that often glorifies solo success. It’s a call for creatives to form alliances, build something together, and rise above the noise. Much like its namesake, the track thrives on the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The origin story of “Voltron” only adds to its mythos. Initially conceived as a throwaway for an abandoned mixtape, the concept took on new life when 2Thirteen reached out to MAJATRON, a fellow anime fan, and sonic rebel from across the country. What started as a casual collab turned into a multi-dimensional mission, and with Surce Beats on production, the final track came together like an audio superweapon.
The accompanying lyric video—already buzzing online—is a wild ride through pixelated dreamscapes and glitchy battle zones, teasing a larger narrative that 2Thirteen has been hinting at in cryptic social media posts. If “Voltron” is any indication, fans can expect more than just music: a full-blown multimedia universe may be on the way.
2Thirteen’s evolution from underground DJ to world-building hip-hop visionary has been nothing short of meteoric. He’s not interested in following trends—he’s creating a whole new lane. Drawing inspiration from acts like JPEGMAFIA, MF DOOM, and Tyler, The Creator, he remains fiercely independent, genre-fluid, and emotionally raw. “Voltron” proves that he’s not afraid to embrace the weird, the conceptual, or the nerdy—and he does it all with elite-level craftsmanship.
As the beat fades and the track closes with a chilling mechanical hum, you’re left with the distinct sense that something big is just beginning. “Voltron” isn’t just a song. It’s a spark. A signal flare for a new era of genre-bending, boundary-breaking hip-hop. And if 2Thirteen and MAJATRON are piloting this thing, you better believe it’s going to fly.
