2Mex Paid Dues Videos, Photos, Reviews

For those of you who didn't have a chance to catch the Paid Dies Festival this past weekend, here's a little recap from my perspective:

2Mex & Murs Freestlying: dope!







I unfortunately missed LMNO's set due to crazy traffic, but from what I heard he killed it as usual doing some of his new, as well as classic jams.



Blu & Exile: MIA
Grouch & Eligh: got a new album out
Evidence: not performing, but signing posters and taking pictures
B-Real: blunted with the help of Psycho Realm
Slaughterhouse: scared me
Brother Ali: incredible
Living Legends, Tech N9ne, Atmosphere: no idea, I went home

Keep posting videos on youtube - where are all the LMNO videos?!?!?

Paid Dues Festival - Underground Hip-Hop

If you're in the Southern California area this weekend, you don't want to miss the biggest underground hip-hop festival in the Nation. Up Above's own LMNO of the Visionaries is performing at 3:50pm so do not miss out! The event will be hosted by the hardest working man in underground hip-hop: 2MEX!


And if you're not into going to an all-day music festival, DJ Rhettmatic (Beat Junkies/Visionaries) will be at the Hollywood Canteen spinning the latest and greatest with Eric Bobo of Cypress Hill w/ a live band...truly epic.
