People Under The Stairs, the acclaimed LA hip-hop duo consisting of Double K (Michael Turner) and Thes One (Christopher Portugal), retired as the most successful independent duo in hip-hop history. With a career spanning over two decades, they self-produced 12 albums and performed sold-out shows across 6 continents, earning critical acclaim and the nickname "The Steely Dan of Rap Music." Their final album, "Sincerely, The P," released in January 2019, was hailed as their best work, solidifying their legacy in the genre.
Tragically, Michael "Double K" Turner passed away on January 30th, 2021, leaving behind a profound impact on the hip-hop community. People Under The Stairs' pioneering DIY approach and musical sensibility continue to inspire artists and fans worldwide, cementing their status as legends in the industry.
