Josh Elder (of Eclipse Produktions) and Milwaukee’s Lockdown Productions, in association with Chicago Marketing and PR firm Ground Lift Media, proudly present 1773’s triumphant return to Milwaukee. Back in September, they rocked BBC Upper Level with Chicago’s The Gents and Milwaukee’s Jonathan Frost. Once again, they’re bringing together some of the Midwest’s best hip-hop, this time they’re headlining the night’s festivities in support of their new album Return of the New (Soulspazm Records). Supporting them will be Chicago-via-Milwaukee MC Gerald Walker, who landed on URB’s Next 1000 list last year. Also representing Milwaukee will be local MCs Big Caption and Yola, a Grimetime battle veteran who recently featured on Tay Butler’s “Umbrellas Up.”

I-94 Connection: w/ The Gent$, 1773, Jonathan Frost, DJ Alo
September, 4th 2009 @ BBC Upper Level (Milwaukee), Doors 9pm, 21+, $5.

The Leaders Group and Ground Lift Media bring you a night of musical acts that bridge the divide between the two great Midwest cities.

The Midwest overflows with so much musical talent that a clash of the cities was inevitable. This Friday @ BBC Upper Level, representing the best in 3rd Coast Hip-Hop and progressively-minded music, the Chicago-based trios of The Gent$ (Wes Restless, Pugs Atomz, Ill Legit), and 1773 (Wisdm O.N.E., Just J, Moral One) meet Milwaukee’s finest, Jonathan Frost for an evening of live performances and general debauchery. Bridging the divide one city at a time!
