O.S.T.
As the rap pundits of the new millennium found themselves infatuated by the fringe and strange, the L.A.-raised duo of Thes One and Double K elected to clapback through the raps. In strict adherence to the mathematics of the true and living - crates, chops, rhymes, repeat - People Under the Stairs crafted their seminal O.S.T. album to function as an open question: are beats and rhymes still enough for good hip-hop? The answer is affirmative, even as alternative; in many ways, this album prevails by leaning into its history and serving as an echo of how to counter the counterculture. Thankfully, it’s no diatribe edged in oldhead sensibilities; O.S.T. is Californian everyman rap, meticulous in design, yet fine-tuned to the soul. This is the soundtrack of the two homies you work with, best served with a blunt and a brew as sunset approaches. This self-awareness enables the pair to get free by bringing themselves and kickin’ shit however they see fit: attuned to tradition, yet indulgent in life.
