Since 1995 North by Northeast, abbreviated as NXNE, has been the Canada's answer to the famed SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. SXSW has long since been synonymous with breakout musical acts the likes of Jhene Aiko and Kendrick Lamar as well as big budget and indie film debuts while NXNE has slowly built its reputation over the years. Rappers who've traveled up north for the fest in the past include Juicy J and A$Ap Ferg in 2014 and Fat Tony in 2013. With this year's hip-hop heavy lineup revealed, it seems NXNE organizers are ready to up the ante.

North by Northeast will run from June 17 to 21, 2015. Advanced tickets are on sale now.
