Rhymesayers Entertainment Records

I've been discovering a lot of new artists lately with the help of Twitter and Mufin.com (a website that finds similar artists/tracks to the ones you search for). I evenutally stumbled onto the Rhymesayers website and started listening to some of their signees (Abstract Rude, Eyedea and Abilities, MF Doom, P.O.S., Jake One, Vitamin D; to name a few) and found that they weren't that bad; so I thought I'd plug their label.
Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Rhymesayers has been bringing hip-hop to the streets of the Twin Cities since 1995. They have a few nationally renowned signed artists such as Atmosphere, Brother Ali, and Evidence of Dilated Peoples. However, they're mainly focused on the local underground scene in the Minneapolis metro area. Not much else can be found about this independent record label other than it's the largest one in the state of Minnesota.
One uniquely awesome aspect of this label is their record store in Uptown, Minneapolis called Fifth Element. It's an offshoot of the Rhymesayers label and dedicated to underground hip-hop. They carry records and clothing and you can expect a review from me coming soon.
