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.

Video: 1773 performs @ Wiz Khalifa Concert (Chicago)
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…

Featuring guest performances by Von Pea (of the critically acclaimed group Tanya Morgan), 14KT (Buff1, Athletic Mic League), and singer Ragen Fykes.
