The Beastie Boys are celebrating their 24th anniversary together this year, has it really been that long?! To celebrate they are set to release 'Solid Gold Hits' on November 7.
The fifteen track compilation tracks their rise from 80s Hip Hop pastiche urchins to full on Rap royalty and everything in between.
To herald the release Gigwise has teamed up with EMI to bring you two very special interviews with the trio of Michael 'Mike D' Diamond, Adam 'Adrock' Horovitz and Adam MCA' Yauch. The first sees them talk track by track through the greatest hits package, the second is a simple Q&A on their careers.
Here they are:
Interview 1
Interview 2
