Wax Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 People Under The StairsThere was a time in hip hop when there was a frame of reference: beats consisting of looped music (an evolution of the DJ going back and forth with funky breaks), rhymes that reflected the nuances of everyday b-boy life, scratching that musically captured the rhythms and sounds of a passing city, and of course, soul. The People Under The Stairs are stuck in this era, and their art is much more than their music, it is the vibe they convey through it.Representing LA to the fullest, The People Under The Stairs' Thes One and Double K have excused themselves from modern hip hop. "We are not MC's, Producers, or DJ's" Double K explains, "We are B-boys, and we do all of that. Naturally." Together, both members dig for records, produce the beats, rap, scratch, engineer, design the artwork and construct the albums. According to Thes, "People can't readily define what we make, if anything, they say it sounds dated. I take that as the highest form of compliment right now."PUTS newest album, Stepfather, is on sale now.Giant PandaLA/Seattle trio Giant Panda return once again.
