And....another one!.......2006-05-30
PUTS have done it again in the '03, puts have shown the hiphop world that music with soul & consciousness is still here, still striving. I don't know what it is with People under the stairs but everything they bring out is nothing short of brilliant. They know what they know, they know what underground heads appreciate and they keep on bringin' it & diggin' in them crates for more and more samples. Or Stay Tuned is no exception, and not only that, it is probably the best display of Thes One & Double K's lyrical ability, pushing aside all the doubters of their music that has been such a problem for them in the past. Now, don't get me wrong, personally I think their lyrics are always perfect, because what most people can't understand is lyrics are about substance & if the substance is thought-provoking, conscious & relatable then who's to say it isn't brilliant? Thes one & double K are not the men to look for if you're a fan of hiphop signifcantly rife with metaphors/similes and original flows that can be seen as undoubtedly outstanding (check out Souls of mischief for this type of excellence & wit).
Now,This Mini album (EP) contains 11 tracks (10 tracks and 1 skit/short song) all of which contribute to the album's consistency. "Yield" kicks off the album, playing as a straight "head-nodder" which is sure to go down well at gigs. The bass is just the nod-factor. Then the "mid-city fiesta" esque Plunken 'em with the laid-back jazzy vibe, serving as true feel-good music, runs in at track 2 laying the foundation for the ultra-mellow "Roadbeaters" where thes & K talk about what it's like about travelling on the road (performing live city-to city) and how a lot of people under-estimate just how hard it is. And as fans know, PUTS are probably the hardest working group going, when it comes to serving fans and promoting themselves abroad. The "fly love song" , "drumbox" "OST Remix" and "Yo" help keep the album afloat, before the "LA Song remix" hits your ears. This is probably the best track on the album, with the captivating atmospheric sounding sample & vibe, that is sure to inspire anybody listening. Similarly, SF Knights remix (short track) and Take the fruit (humourous, wacky track) prepare our ears for the soon-to be eargasm that approaches in the form of "outrun". Soo refreshing, the sample on here is just straight class. This is a much slower track, that acts as the perfect outro to a perfect EP with double k scratching for about a minute, before it all comes to an end. Now, give this a listen if you are a fan of the P, or a fan of thought provoking, soulful & conscious hiphop as this is just that, and more. People under the stairs proving that their back! DO NOT SLEEP. PEACE!
Also check out The next step, question in the form of an answer, OST and Stepfather (2006) as every single album is phenomenal.

chill as it gets verbal scrathin lizard slits.......2005-11-12
theres nothing groundbreaking about this release, but if you want to just mellow out and listen to some chill hip-hop, this is a perfect record to listen to. I think PUTS makes up for their average rhymes with their laid back attitude and delivery. Its not really the substance, but the style that makes this record memorable.
B boys will b Boys.......2005-11-03
This ep or LP, whatever is really hittin. I just purchased it used about 2 weeks ago, and it has not left my deck since. Its that good. The only song I really don't care about is, "Drumbox". IT'S NOT WACK, ITS JUST TOOO OLD SKOOL FO ME. That's all. "L.A. Song" is probably the most personal song on the disk. Double K really brings down the house. Also what I like about P.U.T.S. is that they make their own beats, and they didn't have 1 feature on the album. In my opinion, that is the defintition of a classic. Since their rap style is b-boy, they have fun on the mic. They can drop science when they want, and the "Take the Fruit" track is tight, FO REAL!!!! The album is soulful,and funked out wit a b-boy twist. Put P.U.T.S. on the same likes of:
1) Little Brother
2) Jurassic 5
3) De La Soul
All in all 10 out of 11, ain't bad, and if this is your type of music,
GO AND COP THIS ISH!!!!!!!!!!
Red Ant has spoken!!!!!
Peace!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. The album is on Om Records
PUTS, the Best of Real Underground Hip-hop.......2005-05-28
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. I got a collection of 100 Underground and conscious hip-hop CDs, and PUTS are my favorite. They got all I want from Underground music. The lyrics are conscious, we are far from gangsta crap. Here, U have intelligent hip-hop. The Beats are so catchy, so mellow. U like underground hip-hop universe and atmosphere? U have understood how is the real soul of hip-hop? So buy it. All the tracks in this album are very good, without 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 no no, don't think about gang affairs, guns, drugs and other here; I talk about the real spirit of street, in tha time when MCs didn't have a ridiculous ego..
People Under The Stairs make one of the best hip-hop sound ever produced. U CAN'T BE disappointed, otherwise U don't like underground hip-hop..
Consistently better than O.S.T........2004-11-08
PUTS have been steering real underground hip-hop in the right direction over the years. Though their nostalgia may mislead a listener to think of them as stuck in the '90s, they are anything but. Imaginative, original, and on-point, PUTS have put out a solid release that's a lot better than its bigger brother, O.S.T. With incredible beats and lively rhymes, they've done it again and again. Get this.
