When it comes to most music festivals you probably haven’t heard of the majority of acts, with the exception of the headliners. While some enjoy the prospect of being surprised by new artists, some expected to be the disappointed by them. Independent hip hop festival Paid Dues grows each year, treating crowds to quality flavors from all over the independent/underground scene.
On April 7th, 2012, Paid Dues plans to continue that legacy with its most diverse lineup yet. For those who are unfamiliar with most of the acts (and don’t want to be deemed uncool for not being hip…just kidding), consider using this as a reference when you attend the festival.
