Paid Dues Hip-hop Festival Announces Full Lineup
Murs and Guerilla Union collaborated in 2006 to host the first annual Paid Dues Independent Hip Hop Festival. Over 5,000 enthusiastic concert fans were present at the Shrine Expo Center in Los Angeles, CA. Fast forward a few years, the festival has solidified support and attendance tripling as well as the roster of performing artists.
