The highly acclaimed duo, People Under the Stairs, are back with their 7th album, "Carried Away." Fans of PUTS records know that unlike other hip hop/rap artists, there are no outside producers or of-the-moment guest emcees. People Under the Stairs are a completely truly independent hip hop duo. Beats, rhymes, scratching and choruses are all done by PUTS members Thes One and Double K themselves.

Now over ten years and seven albums deep, PUTS have built a genre of their own within hip hip. Upbeat, crazy, balls-to-the-wall and ridiculous, "Carried Away" follows in true PUTS tradition. One part(y) Beastie Boys, one part Public Enemy and one part Radiohead, the new album was produced old school classic style in the same fashion as Rick Rubin (Def Jam era) or Dust Brothers (Grand Royal, "Paul's Boutique.") Recorded entirely on reel to reel with tons of rock samples, distorted vocals, lots of cussing, drum machines, delays, yelling... the works. Wrap that all up with nods to A Tribe Called Quest (Double K does one hell of a Phife Dog), Beastie Boys, beer and Luther Vandross and you're guaranteed to carried away!
