Download: (1773 - Return of the New)

Chicago Hip-Hop group 1773 a collective of two MCs from Chicago, Illinois: Wisdm One and Just J the duo that became a trio when officially adding DJ Moral One to the line up since their tour together in 2006, is back again with their new LP Return of the New. Set to drop in early ‘09, they’ve recently released the single “It’s On Again,” produced by no one less than Ubiquity recording artist Ohmega Watts. If you heard 1773’s last album, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by their new sound. Along with Ohmega, fellow Lightheaded crew member Othello produced a lion’s share of the cuts. I love the album straight trough, it is nothing to sleep on for sure!
