People Under the Stairs are an underground hip-hop group from Los Angeles, California. The group comprises two self-proclaimed b-boys, Thes One and Double K.
Thes One (Chris Portugal) was born in Lima, Peru in 1977. His musical aliases include Uncle Thester, Supreme One, Thessoterrorist, and Lord Radio. Double K (Michael Turner, Jr.) is originally from Los Angeles, California, and was born in 1977. He is also known to go by K Jackson, Dub K, L.A. Mike, Mikey, Kaos, and Hale Bop.
People Under the Stairs, or PUTS, have released three albums since 1998, and have since put out a record every two years(you guess when), with the exception of 2004. Myek. Hyek. And Dyek. Gesundheit!
They have also moved to Basement Records, who will formally release their next album along with Tres Records. Tres Records was started by Chikaramanga & Sausen with the assistance of Thes One and has began releasing 12” singles and CD’s for Thes One, Giant Panda, Lightheaded, and other artists.
Although widely unrecognized, PUTS is often considered one of the hip-hop underground’s most prominent acts, with a musical style similar to that of A Tribe Called Quest and The Pharcyde
Their album, Stepfather, was released on April 18, 2006. A false leak of the album was released on the internet on February 21, 2006. The leak was orchestrated by Thes One himself by recruiting members on the PUTS Online messageboard to spread the bad copy. The leak is in fact a recital of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner with an introduction containing such jeers as, “You got it way before everyone, you’re so smart.
