iTunes Review

Well-established veterans of hip-hop's underground, People Under the Stairs have been getting busy on wax since the late '90s, when they hit the scene with The Next Step. Since then, they've toured the world many times over (their live show is always outstanding) and captivated audiences with their classically minded style. It's a near-perfect blend of easygoing rhymes centered on partying, crate-digging, and a love for Los Angeles, mixed with ultra-funky beatwork and precise turntable theatrics. Highlighter is their eighth full-length and finds them upping the ante with lots of live instrumentation and excellent production. The 20 tracks here are funky, funny, and feel-good, the ideal antidote to the cookie-cutter rap-by-numbers. Whether you're a longtime fan or first-time listener, this is another batch of exceptionally dope hip-hop from Thes One and Double K. Check out "At the House," "Dewrit," "Sonic Elders," and "Uprock Boogie."

This whole album is great. People should def scoop highlighter up. PUTS forever!

Finally! That Fishbucket Soundcheck cut is worth the price alone! You've handpicked some gems from the album for this EP!
Dewrit is mislabeled though....
