Starting in 2006, Murs created and curated the Paid Dues Music Festival in and around Los Angeles, California. The Living Legends MC made a stage for many of his independent peers, friends, and acts whose music he liked. By 2007, Paid Dues teamed with Guerilla Union to do a full-on national tour. That road show continued in 2008, merging some dates with the Rock The Bells tour. The California event lasted until 2013, when it woefully stopped.
Paid Dues gave a stage to artists ranging from Brother Ali, Tech N9ne, and Devin The Dude to Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan, and Ice Cube.
