Rhymesayers Entertainment is an independent hip hop record label based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, co-founded in 1995 by Sean Daley, Anthony Davis, Brent Sayers, Musab S'ad Ali and Derek Turner.
The label is mainly composed of native Minnesotans as well as nationally recognized artists including Soul Position and MF Doom, who has released one disc (MM..Food?) for the label. Artists signed to Rhymesayers have been known to do performances with St. Paul, Minnesota's own Heiruspecs from time to time. Rhymesayers is the largest hip-hop label in Minnesota and has a friendly relationship with the Doomtree crew as well. P.O.S. of Doomtree is signed as a solo artist to Rhymesayers.
