People Under The Stairs

People Under the Stairs was an American hip hop duo from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1997 and disbanded in 2019. Since their inception, the group consisted solely of Christopher Portugal (Thes One) and Michael Turner (Double K). The group employed a DIY work ethic of sampling, MCing, DJing, and producing all of their output. Despite difficulties achieving mainstream or chart successes, the group rejected the label of underground hip-hop. They achieved prominence and acclaim, along with praise from fellow musicians. In 2021, rapper Double K died. The cause of death was not announced.
