After 3 weeks of what many came to know as “hip hop summer camp”, the Paid Dues Festival tour has come to a close.

Murs showed incredible leadership and stamina as the organizer, the host and the headliner of 12 revolutionary shows across the country.

The pioneers of paying their dues took a major stand for independent hip hop as they took to the streets for the first indie hip hop tour EVER and rocked thousands of old and new fans.  Hip Hop history was made and thanks goes out to all of the fans and artists who made this milestone possible!

Get ready for Paid Dues 2008!!

Friday night the Sneaker Pimps tour stopped off in Downtown Los Angeles. The event was a fusion of sneakers, art, skateboarding and music. There was a shoe/painting installation from Mister Cartoon too!

As many of my friends know, I’m a huge sneaker fan, so this was the perfect event for me to be at. But the main reason I went was to go check out our good friend Paul Wall and his group “Expensive Taste” perform. They put on a dope show! Paul is one of those artists that’s just mad cool, genuine and humble. He personally walked outside and navigated through the mass of people trying to get in the event and made sure Double R and me were cool to get in. I don’t know too many artists that would do that. Redman’s performance was dope too…I can’t wait to see Wu-tang at Rock The Bells along with MURS and everyone else on the line-up!
