These cats are pretty unrecognized in the indie hiphop scene, but
they have mad talent...
They used to put our their own stuff before getting picked up by OM,
so there are a handful of singles on the PUTS imprint. I think
there's a new LP in the works.
They also put out an album on Om! Go get it, it's the indie sleeper
of last year:
People Under The Stairs "The Next Step" 2LP [$14] Om Records (OM033VLP)

My info for this post came from http://sandboxautomatic.com, which is
a pretty badass online hiphop shop in NYC. You can listen to crappy
quality .RA clips of EVERYTHING. Even if you aren't shopping, you can
at least stay up to date :) They are much better for NYC underground
stuff than for (my preference) bay area underground, but they do okay
in that arena too.
Cheers,
