In celebration of our 20th Anniversary this year, Rhymesayers packed up and headed down to SXSW 2015 in Austin, TX. First, we gave a panel discussion on the label's history, as well as its future. Afterward, we headed over to the House of Vans at the Mohawk to perform a label showcase for a packed house. This was truly a night to remember.
This is a brief recap of this monumental event, which featured performances from Atmosphere, Dilated Peoples, Brother Ali, Grieves, Prof, deM atlaS and Get Cryphy, as well as surprise guest appearances from P.O.S, Freeway, Murs, Fashawn and the legendary Chuck D!
Thank you to all who came out to show us some love that night, as well as all those who've shown your love and support over the last two decades. With so much more in store, we look forward to growing with you in the years to come.
Songs:
deM atlaS "Time Of Our Lives" (0:06 - 1:02)
Brother Ali "Self Taught" (1:53 - 2:52)
