To celebrate the joyous occasion of having my computer back, I thought I’d post TWICE today. Whoa, what a treat.
LA hip-hop duo People Under the Stairs (named for this Wes Craven movie?) are playing tonight at Big Fish Pub in Tempe, and I’m 96.7 percent certain I’m going.
Not familiar with PUtS? Catch up here. Thes One and Double K epitomize that laid-back, coolin’-on-your-front-porch kind of hip-hop. I just bought their new album, Stepfather, yesterday. But if you need a place to start, it doesn’t come any better than O.S.T., a souled-out homage to their hometown (The L.A. Song) and old-school lyric spittin’ (The Hang Loose).
Stepfather continues their DIY spirit – crate-diggin’ and soul-sampling freshness. Hip-hop is supposed to fun, y’all. It’s wholly obvious People Under the Stairs actually get it.

Love this album! But I am sure you could have guessed that.
I heard their “The Next Step” album and I was hooked. These dudes have stayed in my rotation for the last couple of years!
