UNDER THE STAIRS People
Under the Stairs are San Francisco’s premiere hiphop act - it seems
inevitable that the release of their third album ‘OST’ this June will
see them transfer their universal critical appeal transfers into the
commercial success of peers such as Jurassic 5 and De La Soul. This
is their first headline Irish show – PUTS in classic form is about
funky jazz loops, crisp scratching, and a refreshingly lighthearted
attitude towards hip hop. “Our ultimate goal with the new
record is to have the person listening to the music feel like they
personally know us.” says Thes. “I’d like for someone
to have a good feeling for what I’m about after hearing the music.” “One
of the funkiest and finest duo’s in West Coast underground hiphop.”
Leagues O’Toole, No Disco www.omrecords.com/artists/artist_puts TY UK hiphop’s wisest poet Ty is known by some as host of ‘The Lyrical Lounge’, London’s most popular live hip-hop club and will also be recognised as a presenter from Channel 4’s ‘Flava’ programme. However
it was the release of Ty’s debut album ‘Awkward’ early in 2001 that
really showed the world his true gifts as a producer and rapper.
Accompanied by DJ Bizniz of The En4cers, this is a unique preview
of Ty’s eagerly awaited second LP which is due late this summer. "The
first essential release of 2001... Ty’s is already one of the year's
best albums" - Blues & Soul EXILE
EYE
Born in San Jose, California; Exile Eye moved in Cork in his teens where he developed a God-like standing over six years of making music and gigging. Now based in Dublin; Exile Eye is widely acknowledged as a formidable and intelligent lyricist who depicts life in urban Ireland with a no holds barred approach. As a producer, he is consistently innovative in production techniques and rhyme flow. All this will be evident on the imminent release of his debut LP ‘Pressure Points’. Having headlined his own gigs and supported the likes of Rahzel and Juarassic 5; he is a particularly confident live performer. “Exile
Eye’s “Optic Nerve” is not only a benchmark for Irish Hip Hop,
but will be appreciated by underground heads world wide”. H2Eire For more
