Description
Recorded on and off over two years at the Beastie Boys' own studio in downtown NYC, produced by the band and mixed by Supa Engineer Duro, 'To The 5 Boroughs' is the first proper Beastie Boys record since 1998's 'Hello Nasty' which entered at the top of virtually every chart in every country in the world.
In keeping with its title, the new album is in large part homage to the city that brought Mike D, Adrock and MCA together. From the block-party rockers 'Ch-Check It Out' and 'Triple Trouble' to the politically charged 'Time To Build' and straight-up tribute 'An Open Letter To NYC', the record conjures the early '80s New York underground B Boys came up in - but keeps one foot firmly in the future throughout, especially on the unclassifiable 'Oh Word?' and 'Crawlspace'.
