People Under the Stairs

When you name your hip-hop outfit after an early-'90s horror flick and release an LP called O.S.T. (Original Soundtrack), there's bound to be confusion. Then again, maybe that's the key to People Under the Stairs' success. After paying dues for over a decade, the Los Angeles duo has amassed a global audience while keeping its underground reputation intact. Thes One and Double K's next collection of old-school beats and rhymes, appropriately titled Fun DMC, drops September 30 on Gold Dust Records.
