Although they were technically only hosts, they had few moments to rock a new track from their upcoming album titled Greenlight Go! The song, “Makin’ Moves” is produced by Tall Black Guy and features MC/Producer 14kt (of the Athletic Mic League). Sherron Shabbazz over at examiner.com captured the fellas as they injected their energy into the sell out crowd at one of Chicago’s premier live music venues, Subterranean. Check out the video below…

Beauty lies beyond the search… Ground Lift Media and Arthur Banks (of Jugrnaut Chicago) are excited to entice you with an intimate single/video release party for the Chicago-based trio 1773’s newest song entitled ‘That One.’ Featuring performances by 1773, a solo vocal set by Wes Restless, and love song-centric DJ sets by Moral One, TREW, & Manny Muscles (Jugrnaut).

“By looking at our group’s name, it’s obvious we have an affinity for Chicago. We always try to move people’s bodies with our music, but this event allows us to interact with Chicagoans on a personal level,” states Just Jay. “Although we may still tell you to wave your hands in the air [laughs].”

As an event, Me & You evokes the more passionate side of Hip-Hop & Soul as filtered through a perspective which is distinctly 1773 – at all times representing Logan Square/Humboldt Park, ‘feel good’ music, and eclectic urban fashion. Within the intimate confines of LOkal on Valentine’s Day, 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.. In addition, the group performs a short selection of their ‘romantic’ tracks, and vocalist Wes Restless (The Jordan Years) takes the stage for acapella renditions of his most recent ballads.

1773 Mini-Bio:

Multitasking as MCs, singers, producers, & instrumentalists, 1773 [Pronounced Seventeen Seventy-Three] originated in 2004 as an occasional venture between Just J & Moral One (respectively, lead MC and drummer of the live Hip-Hop band Berto Ramon) and their longtime friend Wisdm O.N.E.. But in two short years the group evolved into a full-fledged endeavor and a highly regarded live performance act who has shared stages with Wiz Khalifa, Lyrics Born, Blackalicious, Pigeon John, L.A. Symphony, SoulStice, Tanya Morgan, Ohmega Watts, Othello, Braille, Blu & Exile.

2010 finds the trio nearing completion on their next album titled Greenlight Go produced completely by Tall Black Guy and featuring guest performances by Von Pea (of the critically acclaimed group Tanya Morgan), 14KT (Buff1, Athletic Mic League), and singer Ragen Fykes. Release date: October 2010.
