As winter begins to wind down, that means it’s time to get ready for the official kickoff to summer- the 12th annual Soundset Festival. Today, Rhymesayers Entertainment and Rose Presents unveil the lineup for Soundset 2019. On Sunday May 26, 2019, the preeminent Midwest music and lifestyle experience will take over the Minnesota State Fairgrounds on the Midway.

Legendary NY rap icon DMX will be moving the Soundset crowd like only he can. Known for show-stopping live sets, Minneapolis native Prof returns home after touring in support of his album, Pookie Baby.

Super-duo Run The Jewels look to maintain their reputation as major-festival mainstays.

Legendary duo Black Star (Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli) bring their articulate brand of Brooklyn Hip-Hop to the stage, while Strange Music co-founder Tech N9ne gets ready to ignite the mosh pits. Singer, rapper, and writer Dessa brings her genre-defying sound to life after the release of her critically acclaimed Chime. Detroit native Royce Da 5’9” adds his decades of skill to the lineup. Sa-Roc, the Rhymesayers “Goddess Gang” MC, delivers her razor-sharp wit and authenticity. The lyrical force field and viral sensation of the YBN crew, YBN Cordae, will also join the Atmosphere & Friends Stage, along with J.
