The group has released seven albums since their formation in 1997. P.U.T.S. employs a rap style similar to that of A Tribe Called Quest, as well as fellow Los Angeles groups Jurassic 5, and The Pharcyde. They favor more traditional forms of DJing. They employ the method of searching Record shops for rare funk and soul records, from which they can find a break or beat that can be looped or stored on an MPC (Musical Production Center). They are "one of the most prominent underground hip-hop groups" and are known for "jazzy samples, danceable beats, intricate rhyming skills, and laid-back humor" which "recalls hip-hop's golden age". Both members of People Under The Stairs were born in 1977, Thes one in Lima, Peru, and Double K in Los Angeles, California. Thes One (real name Chris Portugal) is also known as Uncle Thester, Supreme One, Thessoterrorist, and Lord Radio. Double K (real name Michael Turner, Jr.) is also known as K Jackson, BABY HUEY, Dub K, L.A. Mike, Mikey, Kaos, Hale Bop, and Kidd Drunkadelic). After hearing much about each other from their friends in the hip hop community, the two finally met in a record shop in Los Angeles in the late 1990s. They went out into a car and showed each other mixtapes of their work, and quickly formed a tight bond. More Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_Under_the_Stairs
