People Under The Stairs
Double K and Thes One, the MCs behind L.A. rap duo People Under The Stairs, are hip-hop purists who revel in elements from the genre’s early days, thickly layering funk samples and scratching for maximum fun. Their authentic sound is achieved the hard way, assembled on vintage analog equipment from sample-worthy vinyl. On albums such as 2009’s Carried Away and 2011’s Highlighter, People Under The Stairs prove that they can get everybody on the dance floor without sacrificing cerebral beats or verbal dexterity. The fact that they also manage to sandwich in kitsch like Keyboard Cat and the theme to The Price Is Right proves that Thes One and Double K will be pumping out sunny, laid-back party anthems long after the Internet memes grow stale.
