This month, we're featuring local hip hop prodigies 1773 (pronounced seventeen seventy three) as they continue to showcase their sophomore effort "Return of the New". Their second album, which the band refers to as their “real debut”, has been received with high accolades from both domestic and international media.

Watching them perform their music is like going back in time to the days when hip hop was real. Their lyrics boast actual cultural relevance over smart beats and samples. This is what underground Chicago hip hop has become – and 1773 is the face of it.

Come check them out and get yourself immersed some of Chicago’s most honest hip hop around.
