I've just moved to Los Angeles to finish my final semester of college, and so far… it's everything I thought it would be. Yes, there is a lot of driving. Yes, it is much slower paced than NY. Yes, In N Out Burger is amazing. However, living in LA has inspired me to think about the greatness of the LA hip hop sound, and how accurately the tracks match the environment out here. That got me writing about my favorite California Hip Hop tracks. This is my top 5... [...]
We form our beliefs for a variety of subjective, personal, emotional and psychological reasons in the context of environments created by family, friends and society. After forming our beliefs we then defend, justify and rationalize them with a host of reasons arguments and explanations. Beliefs come first, explanations for the beliefs follow. Once people commit to a belief, the smarter they are, the better they are at rationalizing those beliefs. So smart people believe some weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons. We don't form beliefs by rationally checking all information. Every [...]

Here's the answer to a potential trivia question: Highlighter , Los Angeles-based hip-hop duo People Under the Stairs ' (PUTS) eighth full-length, is the first album to ever be released in 24-bit HD-AAC format. In layman's terms, that means it sounds fractionally better than most albums while munching up a whole lot of hard drive space. Apart from that, it's mostly a typical PUTS album: warm, slick, and unmistakably sample-heavy. And that's hardly something to gripe about. At this point, the group's members, Thes One and Double K, are becoming underground rap [...]
"Talkin' Back To The Streets" is just one of several notable tracks from People Under The Stairs' eighth studio album, Highlighter. PUTS, which consists of Thes One (Christopher Portugal) and Double K (Michael Turner), have been releasing superb hip hop music independently ever since their formation in the late nineties. Listen to the new track below, as well as "Acid Raindrops," a classic fan favorite from the Los Angeles duo.

People Under The Stairs - Selfish Destruction People Under The Stairs - Left Foot, Right Foot Indie hip hop duo People Under The Stairs births another fantastic album full of breezy beats and party anthems for your listening pleasure, ie: Highlighter . This one is just as catchy and nostalgia-invoking as previous PUTS efforts... which means it's quite fun and refreshing in its retro-rific, b-boy, dusty-vinyl, looped-beat throwback sound. So take advantage of what's left of the summer and crank [...]

I'm in the process of purchasing/downloading my copy of Highlighter , the new album from L.A. hip-hop duo People Under the Stairs . I'm a big fan of Thes One and Double K for numerous reasons, and the video above is just another. Their laid-back brand of California cool has just always struck a chord with me. And, to be honest, I haven't heard a lick of Highlighter yet; hell, I had no idea the release of a new album – their eighth – was imminent. It's a good idea to pay attention [...]
