Choice verses from Wes Restless (of The Gent$, The Jordan Years), Cerebral Vortex (of Vertual Vertigo, MPM), Sincerely Yours (of The New Old), Dee Jackson (of 80s Babies), and South African producer/MC Thir13teen add a unique flavor to the already rich soundscape. But as an end result Mixed Signals Vol.2 more fully captures the spirit, and brings into focus the motivations of 1773 as a duo.

Hosted by Chaka B and mixed by DJ TREW (Ground Lift Media), Volume 2 features production by Trishes (Austria), Soundprophets (Chicago), Tall Black Guy (Chicago), & Thir13teen (South Africa) as well as beats by J. Dilla, Shawn Jackson, Black Moon, Silhouette Brown, & 14KT.

And as an added bonus, each download of Volume 2 includes a hi-quality 320kbps version of Just Jay (of 1773) and Moral One’s new EP titled Maxwell St. Clocking in at a brisk 20 minutes, this EP represents the ideals of hard-earned pride and ‘big shoulders,’ two defining qualities for which Chicago has become infamous.
