1773 joined the thousands upon thousands of people who attended this year’s Humboldt Park Puerto Rican Festival in Chicago. Chances are they were the only ones who were rapping in the middle of a crowd of strangers though! Chicago Music Project’s CMPtv filmed the fellas as they performed “Return of the New,” the title track from their upcoming full length album to be released August 2009.
Volta Masters & 1773 team up yet again for a jazzed out Hip Hop track. The lead single from the forthcoming Volta Masters At Work 2 album, the track “Go On” is centered around a horn and piano loop with MCs Wisdm O.N.E. & Just J & DJ Itch13 (1773’s Japan Tour DJ) handling the vocals and scratches respectively.
As the release date for 1773’s Return of the New approaches, the fellas decided to give their fans a taste of the new stuff on the Returning the New Stuff mixtape. You’ll find a heaping handful of exclusives, non-album cuts, b-sides, rarities, and remixes thrown in for good measure. All this was deftly mixed by DJ Itchie Fingers (Itch13) and hosted by Othello of the Lightheaded crew. Peep the DL link below complete with cover art, mp3 id tags, bpms, and the ever important EPK!
