The two wanted to work together on a project where they could incorporate several of their talents in music and design.

People Under the Stairs - Carried Away

People Under the Stairs are an underground hip hop group from Los Angeles, California. It’s comprised of two emcee’s Thes One and Double K. The group, also known as PUTS, has released seven albums since 1998, each about every two years. 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, The Pharcyde, and fellow Los Angeles group Ugly Duckling. PUTS is also renowned for their live shows, which feature a large amount of crowd interaction and humor.
