The first of five releases of 2010, the gentlemen of 1773 emerge from the bone-chilling Chicago Winter having spent the past 5 months in full-on production mode. Featuring beatmaker talent from across the globe and a myriad of local Hip-Hop artists, their lead mixtape titled Mixed Signals Vol.1 (release date 5/28/2010) began as a single release but the overwhelming response from guest MCs necessitated two installments.
Hosted by Donwill (of Tanya Morgan), Volume 1 features include: Visual (Molemen/Community Service), Elevation (Fordafresh), Love Jones, MC Sick of Pseudo Slang (Fat Beats), Neak, Add-2, Sincerely Yours, Verbal Kent (Gravel), Phero, Itch13 (Superheroes of Sound), Cerebral Vortex (of Vertual Vertigo, MPM), Philip Morris, Awdazcate, and K-Sera. Certainly one of these names rings a bell, and if not considerthis a wakeup call!

1773′s talent exudes in the studio and on stage. Their performance stands louder nowhere else than within the arenas of charisma and great sound replication. The members of 1773 are disciples of music, Chicago and her cultural stock. Through the sweltering thick of this city’s talent, emerged a group that calls upon the cadences of hip-hop’s truest and congruent times…
On their first full length release for 2010 titled Sound Soulstice, produced entirely by Australian producer ARKiV, Sound Soulstice will be 1773’s third project on River City Music Entertainment. The lead single “The Goodness” finds Just Jay, Wisdm O.N.E. alongside special guest, and long-time 1773 collaborator Othellospitting over a Dilla-esque banger laced with an all too obscure Bobby Lylesample.
In celebration of the legendary soul singer Bill Withers‘ new documentary Still Bill, 1773 is leaking their remix of Wither’s song “Make A Smile” from their upcoming mixtape Mixed Signals Vol.1 (release date 5/28/2010, hosted by Donwill of Tanya Morgan). This remix was originally released as a re-edit by Austrian beatmaker Trishes and here you’ll find 1773 meshing naturally with Wither’s heartfelt sentiment and Trishes boom-bap arrangements.
