People Under the Stairs rockin some new beats, soon to be followed by another album - "Carried Away!"

I’ve been a huge People Under the Stairs fan fo’eva! Their new album “Fun DMC” rocks. It’s not just an homage to the old school styles of the East Coast (see “GrandMaster Flash, DJ Kool Herc, et al.) It holds a spectrum of brand new ideas that PUTS have been growing since their “O.S.T” release. The rhymes are upbeat to say the least, with a laid back take on their fame and fortune. They have seemed to relax more since the Om records days, when they seemed devoted more to the battle rap.

But where this album shines, in my opinion, is the huge amount of samples that Thes One and Double K have used as a basis for their swinging rhymes. These guys have never stopped diggin.’ And still they use samples that make music freaks go “HMMM!!” In the quest for NOS beats, these guys really take the cake.
