I’ve written it before, and I’ll write it again…Rhymesayers are the ultimate hip hop road dogs. While overhyped swag rappers screw over audiences with drunken lip-synch gigs, and indie rap artists wander around their respective states for a dozen dates and call it a day, the Minneapolis crew perform hundreds of shows a year. And people still act surprised when P.O.S. clocks over 20,000 albums while the media “sleeps.” The proof is in the pudding.
The punk rapper/vocalist continues to support last year’s gem, Never Better. This time around, he’s taking along fellow Doomtree member Dessa, with Astronautalis and Grieves on select dates.
