We’re mixing it up this week by previewing Soundset Music Festival, which goes down this coming weekend out at Canterbury Park in Shakopee (which Ross and I have press passes for hehe). Organized by Minneapolis’ own Rhymesayers Entertainment, this is the fourth annual festival which features some of the best independent hip hop from across the states. This year, some of the big names include Big Boi, Blueprint and Curren$y just to name a few. Of course, no Rhymesayer’s festival would be complete without performances from Minneapolis greats Atmosphere, Brother Ali and P.O.S. who will all take the stage at one point or another Sunday afternoon.
This week we’ll be featuring tracks from some of our favorite Soundset artists in order to get pumped for this festival. If this lineup is something you can’t pass up, head on over to the website below and pick yourself up some tickets, they are still available!
