Rhymesayers Entertainment

Rhymesayers Entertainment is an underground hip-hop label based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Founded by Sean "Slug" Daley of Atmosphere and Brent "Siddiq" Sayers, the label has been a driving force in the hip-hop scene since its inception. With a focus on showcasing talented artists and pushing boundaries, Rhymesayers has become synonymous with quality music.
Known for their unique sound and thought-provoking lyrics, Rhymesayers artists have gained a loyal following worldwide. The label's releases are highly regarded within the industry and have received critical acclaim from both fans and critics alike.
With an impressive roster of artists including Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Aesop Rock, and many more, Rhymesayers continues to be at the forefront of independent hip-hop. Their dedication to authenticity and artistic integrity sets them apart from other labels in the industry.

After numerous successes across nearly every notable MC/DJ battle of the late 90's and early 00's, followed by their poignant debut, First Born (2001), and the innovative follow-up, E&amp;A (2004), Eyedea and Abilities expanded upon their reputation for multi-dimensional lyricism and production, establishing the duo as a progressive and integral part of the underground hip-hop sound. In 2009, they re-emerged with rap-punk vocals, gutted guitar riffs, and synthesized drum beats on By The Throat, their final studio release before Eyedea's untimely passing in 2010. Together, the experimental and philosophical rapper Eyedea, synchronizing with the precision and ingenuity of producer / turntablist Abilities, curated a raw form of escapism that still resonates ten years later. While a song like "Spin Cycle" delicately unravels the barriers of human intimacy, “Smile” immerses us into the horrors of poverty and hardships, and our society's obliviousness to them. In each track, Abilities compliments Eyedea’s fluctuating patterns by maintaining ranges from each side of the spectrum, ensuring their advanced creation still stands as a testament of their dedication to the craft. Now, the long out-of-print vinyl is being reissued for the 10 year anniversary on a custom formulated watercolour swirl vinyl, wrapped art paper jacket of original watercolor artwork by Michael Gaughan with film lamination finish, full color printed record sleeve, insert with full album lyrics and free download card.
