On May 24, 2015, Soundset again brought together a fantastic combo of up and coming artists and hip hop’s OGs (as well as the genre’s biggest seller at the moment) for one day in Minnesota. It’s remarkable how huge Soundset has become over the last several years (Sway Calloway, on hand once again to host the main stage, even noted without pandering it’s become the biggest hip hop festival in the world), and this year once again saw a 30,000+ sell out. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate as much as last year with a light rain falling almost all day, but it never fell hard enough to be more than an irritant and the crowd didn’t really seem to mind too much. Check below the fold photo highlights, and our Facebook page for more shots.
DJ Jazzy Jay is one of the original Boogie Down Bronx DJs. He was a member of both the Zulu Nation and Afrika Bambaataa & the Soul Sonic Force.
J. Cole. I have to admit, I don’t really get the J. Cole love, but I’m clearly in the minority. The massive minority.
