This music is so perfect for summer.
I'm getting ready to head up to my home-away-from-home in Austin, TX, where I'll be flying out to Nashville to rendezvous with my road-trip entourage en route to Manchester. And People Under the Stairs, who will be playing at Bonnaroo Thursday, make just the right kind of hip-hop for sunny afternoons like this one: Part UGK meets De La Soul, part MURS covering "It Was a Good Day..."
The LA duo, Thes One and Double K, are legends of the California underground, but six albums and 10 years deep, the above video for "The Wiz" off 2008's Fun DMC is the first one they've ever made. You might attribute that sort of late blooming to an oversight, but when you're an act like PUTS (as they're known to their loyal fans) rocking shows and printing swaths of limited, self-distributed EPs is far more important than slowing down for the camera.
It's a good thing they finally got around to it though, because for all the work PUTS puts in, why not kick it for a day on a beach in Australia?
