Los Angeles hip hop duo People Under The Stairs (Thes One & Double K) present “BEER,” the official music video off the album “Carried Away” out now on Om Records. Produced by Piecelock70 and Om Records and directed by Matt Hobbs of Vital Films, the video for BEER takes a no nonsense approach to the house party.
