At first it was like, The last thing we need in our lives is a six-minute posse cut featuring a grip of rappers we’ve mostly never heard of, but it turns out that is exactly what we never knew we wanted. Every dude on this song raps like this is his big moment, and maybe it is. Maybe Minnesota can be the next Philadelphia (or maybe it already is and we don’t know?), turning out rappers that get us excited about the entire concept of “lyricism” without sounding boring.

If this is news to you, it aint to us. The Twin Cities, MN top every big city except NY and LA in terms of the local music scene, and this includes hip hop. Lyricism is considered a refined art, even in the most amateur setting. Look into, if you like this, we got a host of other artists that you’d appreciate.
Run Minnesota and I got a Twin Cities fitted.
All of these guys are pretty good, surprisingly. A few of them had some difficulty staying on the beat, but other then that, solid all around. I’m not sure if any one of these guys are the next big thing, though.
Rhymesayers are the dopest in the Twin Cities.
