Beastie Boys Book

Book • 2018
This book tells the story of the Beastie Boys, starting from their formation as a New York City hardcore band in the late 1970s.

It chronicles their transition from teenage punks to hip-hop stars, including their early collaborations with Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin, the success of their debut album 'Licensed to Ill,' and their subsequent evolution as musicians and social activists.

The book features rare photos, personal anecdotes, exclusive interviews, and contributions from various guest authors, including a mini cookbook by Roy Choi and a musical tour of New York City streets by Luc Sante.

It is a must-read for fans of the Beastie Boys and anyone interested in the early days of hip-hop and the band's significant influence on popular culture.
