Artist of the Week #2

I was really busy his week, so I didn't get much posting done. And after last weeks DMX bio this weeks choice is the white rap trio, the Beastie Boys.

This musical dreamteam came to be in 1981 as a punk band, members Adam Yauch (MCA) Mike Diamond (Mike D.) Adam Horowitz (King Ad-Rock), after which they went through a quite unexpected style-transition (you know I'm talking about Hip-Hop) which formed the platform the Beasty Boys launched themselves from into the great unknowns of superstardom.
However, the band wasn't much of a croudpleaser, and they soon made names as the biggest buffoons in the industry, with their lousy performances and less than appealing lyrics. This didn't change untill they decided to reach out to other players in the business such as Run-DMC. Their catchy beats (not always selve-conjured) and funky grooves prove punk really does mix with Hip-Hop. After several record deals and many number 1 songs you'd think they'd stopped by now. Guess again. They are currently promoting their new album 'To the 5 Boroughs'. Lets keep our eyes and ears open.
