The “PAID DUES” INDEPENDENT HIP-HOP FESTIVAL presented by MURS 3:16 in association with Guerilla Union (Rock The Bells, Cypress Hill Smoke Out)–will return Saturday, April 3 to the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, CA for the fifth consecutive year. Named “Independent hip-hop’s premiere festival” by SOHH.COM, the festival supports this genre of music where advanced lyricism, stinging political commentary and quality DJ performances flourish in a seemingly parallel universe. The 2010 lineup will feature performances from ICE CUBE, MURS & 9TH WONDER, TECH N9NE, RAEKWON, JAY ELECTRONICA, THA DOGG POUND, DILATED PEOPLES, PSYCHO REALM, NECRO, PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, DEL THA FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN, FREEWAY AND JAKE ONE, RANDOM AXE FEATURING SEAN PRICE, GUILTY SIMPSON AND BLACK MILK, R.A.

“When Chang and I first embarked on this adventure we now call PAID DUES, I never thought about the five year mark. I just wanted to make it happen. Then, last year being as amazing as it was and our biggest show to date, I was like man, what are we gonna do for our 5th anniversary? It has to be big like waterslides and ferris wheels or something. Then I thought, what could be bigger than that? I know, I wonder if we could get the godfather of west coast rap: Ice Cube. Not only is he my favorite and in my opinion the greatest rapper alive, he’s someone I’ve modeled my career after whether it’s been his supreme lyricism or his almost unparalleled business acumen. On the independent side of things, he’s always been at the forefront whether it be his earlier days with Ruthless Records or him being instrumental in making Priority a dominant force throughout the 90’s with his Street Knowledge imprint. Most recently, he started his own Lench Mob Records. All these facts plus a million more made him the perfect person to headline the 5th Annual PAID DUES Independent Music Festival,” states Murs.

For the first time in its rich history, PAID DUES will be expanding to two stages hosting over 25 of the most notable and up-and-coming independent artists in hip-hop. Among the talented bill, Raekwon will make his first appearance at PAID DUES. His critically acclaimed 2009 release, “Only Built 4 Cuban Link…Pt. II”, debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and was featured on many album of the year lists including Rolling Stone and TIME Magazine. Murs alongside producer, 9th Wonder will also be performing a full set for the first time at PAID DUES. The duo will be performing songs from their latest collaboration, “Fornever” which will be released March 30. Murs adds, “My situation at Warner Brothers Records has kept me on the shelf as far as PAID DUES is concerned. This year, above my excitement as a fan, I’m excited because I finally get to perform at PAID DUES with my brother and long time collaborator, 9th Wonder.” As is tradition at Guerilla Union events, special guests and west coast underground hip hop pioneers, Freestyle Fellowship will be performing for the first time in over ten years. Murs shares his excitement, “Another highlight for me is the reunion of Freestyle Fellowship. They were my favorite group growing up. I don’t think there has been a more innovative group in the history of hip-hop.”

Chang Weisberg of Guerilla Union adds, “Having reached our fifth year in celebrating independent hip-hop, it is overwhelming to have achieved such an amazing milestone. We are extremely thrilled to have been able to realize Murs’ dream lineup this year. It is such an honor to be among such talented and passionate artists. This PAID DUES was so special that we had to make bigger and better. This year, fans will get to experience even more independent music having expanded the festival to two stages.”
PAID DUES is an all-ages show. The Guerilla Union ticket pre-sale will begin on Wednesday, February 3 for registered Guerilla Union members. Tickets will be available via Ticketfly online and at all locations starting Saturday, February 6.

This year’s installment of PAID DUES follows the festival’s fourth annual Southern California date in 2009 which featured artists such as Atmosphere, Tech N9ne, Living Legends, Brother Ali, B Real, Grouch & Eligh and Cage. 2009 also marked the festival’s largest show to date with over 7,000 attendees. In 2008, the sold-out Southern California event featured artists such as Sage Francis, Little Brother, Hieroglyphics, Buckshot of the Boot Camp Clik and Yak Ballz. 2008 also saw the festival make stops in. In 2006 the first PAID DUES festival–with a line-up featuring Felt, Aesop Rock, Living Legends, El-P, Hangar 18 and more–sold out with over 5,000 concert goers packing the Shrine Expo Center in Los Angeles. The following year MURS and Guerilla Union, along with performers Felt, Living Legends, Sage Francis, Brother Ali and others–teamed up again for the PAID DUES festival tour for over ten dates across the country.
