Revolution is a serious thing. – Fuzzy Codgitator

1773 (MDCCLXXIII) was a relatively uneventful year in which things like The Public Advertiser published a satirical essay titled Rules By Which A Great Empire May Be Reduced To A Small One, written by Benjamin Franklin, among the most notable occurrences, unless you consider a bunch of people dressed as Mohawk Indians dumping all the British East India Company’s tea into the harbor a “happening”. Seriously though, they did that shit in December. Last time I was in Boston, it was about 90 degrees & I dumped some snapple into the harbor, later on I ended up at the Middle East where I saw the death of hip hop. Which brings me back to 1773 (Just J & Wisdm O.N.E.), who are doing their best to resurrect it… quite successfully I might add. This duo from the sleeper cell of ChicagOh have dropped a new mixtape called Mixed Signals. Listen & download it here. Good stuff.
