Prof was released for LYRICS that were from 10 years ago. Lyrics that they profited from and helped make their name. Other rappers can rap about murder rape, drugging woman and extreme violence to woman? So why? Profs record deal was up and he is blowing up so Rhymesayers neesed savw face losing one of their nest artists. Or they caved like a bunch of simps abandoning the man who helped make them. Furthermore Releasing them together allowed the headlines to read Prof and Dem Atlas released over misogyny, sexual misconduct and abuse of women. Prof only accused of mysogony should be suing for libel as 90% of Americans get their news from the headlines and will surely assume he was involved with the latter CRIMES!

Rhymesayers Entertainment (sometimes abbreviated RSE[1]) is an American independent hip-hop record label based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[2][3] It was co-founded in 1995 by Sean Daley (Slug), Anthony Davis (Ant), Musab Saad (Sab the Artist) and Brent Sayers (Siddiq).[4] Beginning in 2008, Rhymesayers Entertainment sponsors the annual Soundset Music Festival, a popular attraction that takes place over Memorial Day weekend in Minneapolis.[5] The music festival was postponed in 2020.[6]

In 2020 Rhymesayers decided to release their best artist Prof and another artist Dem Atlas. Prof was released for LYRICS that were from 10 years ago. Lyrics that they profited from and helped make their name. Other rappers can rap about murder rape, drugging woman and extreme violence to woman? So why was he released? Prof's record deal was up and he is blowing up so Rhymesayers needed to save face while losing one of their best artists who has a cult like fan base. Or they simply are a bunch of unloyal simps abandoning their friend and the man who helped make them the recognizable brand theybare today. Furthermore, releasing them together allowed the headlines to read Prof and Dem Atlas released over misogyny, sexual misconduct and abuse of women. Prof only accused of mysogony should be suing for libel as 90% of Americans get their news from the headlines and will surely assume he was involved with the latter CRIMES!


In 2020, Rhymesayers was among the many labels distributed by Alternative Distribution Alliance that left the company after ADA moved all of its business to the Indiana-based Direct Shot Distributing. Controversy erupted when Direct Shot received numerous complaints from retailers over delayed or missing shipments.[7] As a result, Secretly Distribution became the current distributor for Rhymesayers Entertainment.[8]

The label also opened a record store in 1999 called Fifth Element, which closed on April 1, 2020.[9]
