More often than not, groups are contractually obligated to release a certain number of albums, sometimes even after the chemistry is gone (industry rule #4080). \u003cstrong\u003eThes One\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eDouble K\u003c\/strong\u003e, the duo who make up \u003cstrong\u003ePeople Under the Stairs\u003c\/strong\u003e, have been doing things on their own terms since their formation in '96. Maintaining a DIY work ethic, they produce, mix, handle booking and touring, market and promotion all by themselves. Despite the lack of mainstream or chart success throughout the two decades, PUTS have achieved and maintained praise and notoriety throughout their career, regularly selling out shows and maintaining a steady stream of top-tier releases. From their debut album \u003cem\u003eThe Next Step\u003c\/em\u003e (which features the song \"San Francisco Knights\", which I often describe as being the penultimate hip-hop classic) PUTS has put in the blood, sweat, and tears that'll ensure their artistic legacy lasts for a long time. With \u003cem\u003eSincerely, the P\u003c\/em\u003e, the duo stick to their tried-and-true strengths. Quick witted, cool-out lyrics blend seamlessly over the head-nodding tracks, with various callbacks to the group's previous albums. The opening track \"Encore\" opens with a live recording of \"San Francisco Knights\" before jumping into a bumping opener. There's the return of the fictitious radio station WRLA that's prominently featured in \u003cem\u003eQuestion in the Form of an Answer\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eO.S.T\u003c\/em\u003e. Then you have the contributors and players, including members of \u003cstrong\u003eCrown City Rockers\u003c\/strong\u003e providing live instrumentation and \u003cstrong\u003eKat Ouno\u003c\/strong\u003e playing keys on the album's final track, as she has on all of their albums since \u003cem\u003eStepfather\u003c\/em\u003e. Tunes to check out are the aforementioned \"Encore,\" \"Let the Record Show,\" \"The Effects of Climate Change on Densely Populated Areas,\" \"Streetsweeper,\" \"Here, for a Good Time,\" and \"Dream Sequence '88\". 15 tracks in all, released on Thes One's own label Piecelock 70. Limited edition pressing on yellow and blue translucent smoke vinyl, included printed inner sleeves, digital download, and a \u003cem\u003esigned\u003c\/em\u003e photo of the duo!
