193 Inc. was a Boston band with Aubrey "Aubee" Johnson on vocals, Emmanuel "EM" Johnson Jr. on vocals and rap, Henry "Henny" Chappelle on guitar and bass, and Justin "JR" Reed on drums. They put out their debut album 'From Which We Will Rise' in 2011, followed by 'Unburdened' in 2013, 'The Way Forward' in 2016, and 'Truth and Harmony' in 2019.
Their music shifted over those releases, moving from what they called soulful R&B on the first album to a more experimental and politically charged sound on 'The Way Forward' before returning to R&B roots on the last one. Songs like 'From Which We Will Rise' and 'Spineless' were part of their catalog.
Aubee Johnson faced some personal challenges during the band's run, including mental health issues and a period of homelessness, which affected their work.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
