Description

The Minneapolis tag captures the diverse and influential music scene of Minnesota's largest city, known for blending funk, soul, hip-hop, and indie rock into distinctive sounds. This music reflects the city's creative independence and experimental spirit, often featuring tight grooves, thoughtful lyricism, and a willingness to cross genre boundaries. The tag represents decades of musical innovation from a culturally rich urban center with cold winters that kept musicians creating indoors.
