MURS IN ASSOCIATION WITH
GUERILLA UNION PRESENT
PAID DUES INDEPENDENT HIP HOP FESTIVAL 2012
Saturday, April 7 at Southern California’s NOS Events Center
The final line-up of the PAID DUES INDEPENDENT HIP HOP
FESTIVAL--presented by independent hip hop pioneer MURS (Living Legends)
in association with Guerilla Union (Rock The Bells, Cypress Hill
Smokeout)--was announced today and includes the addition of Mac Miller,
Three -6 Mafia, Brother Ali and many more, joining previously announced
headliners Wu-Tang Clan and Odd Future. The seventh installment of the
all-day, all-ages event--highlighting the most eminent and flourishing
independent artists in hip hop--will take place on Saturday, April 7,
2012 at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, CA.
"With the tremendous growth in independent hip hop every year there is
more and more amazing talent to choose from. And as the spectrum
broadens the goal of Paid Dues is to continue to be a platform that
showcases every facet of the movement,” notes festival co-founder Murs.
He continues, “With 50 artists spread out across three stages, there is
guaranteed to be something for everyone. I'd personally like to thank
all of our fans, supporters and sponsors for helping us make it to our
seventh Paid Dues. We are all looking forward to another safe and
successful year."
Discussing the variety of artists on the line-up, Murs adds: “We’ve got
performers on the bill ranging from young artists like Mac Miller who,
despite taking the mainstream by storm, has chosen to stay independent
to Paid Dues mainstay and arguably one of the best performers in the
game Brother Ali. We also have underground godfathers Juicy J and DJ
Paul known to many around the globe as the Academy Award-winning group
Three-6 Mafia. And finally after a couple years of pursuit I personally
am extremely happy to welcome Christian rap phenom and flat out dope
lyricist Lecrae.
Monster Energy returns this year as one of the driving partners of the
Paid Dues Festival and looks forward to fans enjoying the more than 50
independent hip hop acts performing across three stages, including the
mammoth Monster Energy Stage. Monster Energy is a company that chooses
to support the scene, their bands & artists, their athletes and their
fans instead of spending their money on ad agencies, TV commercials,
radio spots, and billboards like most other companies. They promote
concert tours, so their favorite bands and artists can visit your
hometown and they are excited to return as a sponsor of the Paid Dues
Festival. www.monsterenergy.com
