Feature Acts:

PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS

Since meeting in 1995, Los Angeles' People Under The Stairs have risen from the ranks of URB Magazine's Next 100 to becoming international hip-hop emissaries. Thes One & Double K, affectionately known as The P by their fans, have been able to evolve their distinct brand of fun-loving production while staying rooted in the golden era of hip-hop, an accomplishment that has earned them acclaim from both critics and pioneers such Biz Markie and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

In addition to selling over 150,000 records worldwide, their music has been featured in numerous video games and television shows, they have played most of the major festivals in the world (from Glastonbury to the X-Games), and still continue to tour relentlessly.

Four years since their last full-length release, People Under The Stairs have finally returned with another breath of fresh air in full drum-banging, chorus-shouting, feel-good musical form with their long awaited album Stepfather.

"People are really going to be surprised by this album," says Thes One, "We're flipping the script on this one, coming with an extremely progressive approach. We study a lot of music theory and classic material, and this album reflects that."

Once again setting the standard for the rest of hip hop to follow.
