Last year, Shake and HipHopDX put together a mixtape full of music from all the artists that would be attending the Paid Dues Festival. Slimm (our usual DJ) had issues and couldn’t take care of it, so I mixed the thing myself in a few hours and we got it to press. We titled it Independent As F*ck and printed up thousands of them. We passed them out at the show, put it up for free download, etc. The response was great. Now a year later and Paid Dues was in full effect once again. I didn’t get to attend because of A3C being the same weekend but it’s all good, DX was definitely a presence! We had DJ El.K mix this years tape and there’s music from all the artists that were on the bill. From Murs to Little Brother, Sage Francis to P.O.S., Boot Camp Clik, Dilated Peoples, Hieroglyphics and much more. Enjoy!

wow.its great .so useful .thanks
looks good
what that jedi mind tricks remix from??
This is the pulse of the underground like 5 years ago. That Non-Prophets is actually Sage Francis, though I miss the Prophets. Woulda been 100x better if you mixed. What is that Francis track.. Broken Wings?
[...] Some more dope footage of Paid Dues 2008. From the same folks who brought the Supernat freestyle below, now have some LB shittage. Not the best audio quality but Te taking over as camera man more than makes up for it. They say a lot more is coming (video wise) so instead of making new posts I’ll just be putting them after the jump. So be on the lookout for those. And if you were sleeping, I dropped HipHopDX’s Paid Dues mixtape on ya’ll last week. Check it. [...]
