Is this for real? I’m currently making my way through the People Under The Stairs discography and while it hasn’t evolved much since the first album, I thought it would a little over seven albums. I probably shouldn’t judge it on this one listen.
Anyway, here it is, I guess.
It’s another Saturday, and we’ve got another sample for you. This week, we reveal where everyone’s favourite PUTS track comes from. You’ve got to love the artwork on that one. That and the bass-line.

If you’re reading this site then the chances are you’ll be more than familiar with People Under the Stairs, or PUTS for short. If not, then this should help.
Welcome to the first in a weekly feature here on Lesson Six. It’s pretty straight forward, a weekly top six of what we’ve been listening to. It doesn’t have to be current, it just has to be on the playlist. So let’s get down to it

At the end of last year Spin Magazine compiled a fairly comprehensive video of video game samples in hip-hop. It started to make a few of us at Lesson Six think how many were actually about video games rather than just sounding like them. The result, a list of our top six tracks about video [...]
Lesson is about progressive & cliché-free hip-hop with intelligent lyrics. Striving for something more than the mainstream perception of hip-hop. This means no misogyny, no glorification of drug-use, no violence and no played out flaunting of personal wealth.
