We did it massive for DRE DAY ‘10. The Jordan Years interpolated a handful of classic Dr. Dre tracks, and were joined onstage by a host of local Chicago Hip-Hop talents including Psalm One, Adad, ANG13, Vitamin D, Wondur, Ill Legit, Phillip Morris, & Shadow Master MC with Wes Restless at the helm playing the role of Nate Dogg. DJ Intel was kind enough to record the fellas set, made a bandcamp about it… here it goes. Enjoy!
Dre Day 2010 went off something fierce! Easily the most fun we’ve had at a Hip-Hop show in awhile. Local photographer about town Sean Costin of camerainmyhand.com documented the evening and manned the portable ‘Chronic’-themed photobooth.

On a bitter cold December evening waaay back in 2009, 1773 rocked the stage alongside up-and-coming Pittsburgh MC Wiz Khalifa for his Deal or No Deal Release Party/Tour. Uncle El over at fordafresh.blogspot.com captured the fellas as they warmed up (in all senses of the word) the sell out crowd at one of Chicago’s premier live music venues, Subterranean. Check out the video below…
1773 Perform “It’s On Again” Live @ Sub T/Wiz Khalifa Release from DeeJay Uncl El on Vimeo.
1773 unveils their new album’s lead single ‘That One’ which finds MCs Wisdm O.N.E. & Just Jay contemplating their ideal mates. However, “the search is only part of the beauty, when you find out someone’s passions, goals, and quirks… that’s the realness,” explains Wisdm O.N.E..
Check it out via Bandcamp, FREE download is only a couple clicks away!!
1773 has returned from the new, ready to pick up the pace for ‘10! The homie Cam Be hooked us up with a fresh (you’ll understand those italics in a second) video for the track ‘That One’ from our upcoming album titled Greenlight Go produced entirely by Tall Black Guy (80s Babies, Pathfinders). Featuring guest performances by Von Pea (of the critically acclaimed group Tanya Morgan), 14KT (Buff1, Athletic Mic League), and singer Ragen Fykes.

Big Once (aka DJ Once A Month, Lab-O Records) was our special guest this month at Uberjam for our first annual RIP ODB celebration. We had hoped to record his set live that evening but dim lighting, beer, and technical difficulties prevailed. But Once is a professional and this afternoon during a live, 20 minute one take session he recorded his entire set for us! Not tracked out or manipulated in any way, this is essentially an exact duplicate of what went down @ Uberjam. Enjoy!

ROPER!, a local Chicago photog about town stopped by 1773′s Return of the New Release Party last week and snapped! (literally) If you missed the event, we also celebrated Vertual Vertigo’s Sparkie’s Bungalow & Pseudo Slang’s We’ll Keep Looking album releases. The show went extremely well especially considering the obstacles & life-changing events that arose last minute. So props to all the crews! Pics below. Oh and if you haven’t already, check out all the group’s new albums on iTunes!!
Three Drops All-City Release Party 10/6/09 @ Darkroom. Photoset by ROPER!
Big thanks to everyone who made it out to our release party this past Tuesday! It’s been a hectic couple weeks as we prepared for the release, what with Just J briefly touring Canada and performing at the Montreal Pop Festival! But we’re excited to be a part of Soulspazm Record’s roster and plan to make as much noise worldwide on Soulspazm as we did in Japan on River City Music Entertainment.
Itching for the US version of ‘Return of the New’? Stop by iTunes for a taste! Feeling what you hear? Leave a comment on our iTunes page! Every little bit counts!!
