One of the greatest. It's really sad to see them go. If you get the chance, listen to their first album. Either you're hooked or you're not.

Yo!! With the last album being released, the time is now to show the world that People Under The Stairs matters!! Please share the hip hop legacy they've created by: buying their digital and physical albums (digital sales show companies and streaming services how popular/relevant certain artists are), leaving reviews on websites, sharing stories with friends and others, requesting their songs on the radio, playing their songs for friends and at parties, gifting some of their music to someone, making mixes and remixes, talking about them on podcasts/vlogs/blogs, or leaving a comment like I'm doing right now. Whatever you got to do, just please show the world how amazing this group is!! These guys are some of the most important hip hop/rap artists to ever exist! Period.

I've discovered these men one year ago, because they are in the Om records label (house, breaks label). All I can say is that People Under The Stairs are without a doubt the BEST underground hip-hop I've ever heard. They got all I want from Underground music. The lyrics are conscious, not the more intelligent and artistical language ever, but we are far from gangsta bling bling. Here, U have intelligent hip-hop. The Beats are catchy, mellow, and jazzy. You like underground hip-hop universe and atmosphere? U have understood how is the real soul of hip-hop? So check them. All the LPs are good, without any exception. The flow and the voice of the 2 MCs are incredible. The PUTS sound reminds me tha cool atmosphere of skateboarding universe, the sound smells like the street. No, don't think about gang affairs, guns, drugs and other here; I talk about the real spirit of street, in the time when MCs didn't have a ridiculous ego..
