This years Paid Dues independent hip-hop festival, promoted by MURS 3:16 in association with Guerilla Union (Rock The Bells, Cypress Hill Smoke Out), is once again proudly sponsored by Dubcnn. For the fourth consecutive year, the event — which has been dubbed “independent hip-hop’s premiere festival — will be held at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, California on March 28th 2009. This year’s line-up includes headliners Atmosphere and Tech N9ne, with supporting acts consisting of Living Legends, B-Real, Brother Ali, Cage, LMNO, Blu & Exile and Eyedea & Abilities, among others – with Visionaries’ 2Mex set to host.
“This year’s Paid Dues line-up is very special to me because we have acts like Tech N9ne and Atmosphere, who I’ve been big fans of and also trying to book forever,” said Murs of the annual event. “The show also marks the So-Cal return of [Eyedea & Abilitie], who haven’t played the NOS since the legendary Wu-Tang reunion at the 2004 Rock The Bells. Cage, B-Real and [The Grouch and Eligh] all have new records dropping this spring.”
With three years of history already since first launching Paid Dues, Murs reflects. “I just can’t believe this is our fourth year! I am so thankful to all our family, friends and supporters. And I look forward to making this March 28th another great and memorable moment in hip-hop history.”
Guerilla Union founder, Chang Weisberg, is also excited, saying this year should be the festival’s biggest to date. “I can’t wait to see all these acts. I truly believe this is the biggest and best line-up yet…” he says.
Since that comment Paid Dues have added to that line up with the addition of the buzz-worthy supergroup, Slaughterhouse, which consists of lyricists Joe Budden, Royce Da 5’9″, Joell Ortiz, and Crooked I. For the first time, the audience at PAID DUES will witness the exclusive West Coast premiere performance of Slaughterhouse.
