MIXTAPE MONDAYS: DJ MICK BOOGIE

This weeks entry for “Mixtape Mondays” is called “Mick Boogie Tributes Beastie Boys With Grand Royal” by DJ Mick Boogie. In honor of The Beastie Boys recently being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Mick Boogie put together this 80 minute mix of classics, remixes, demos & live versions they put out over the years. Unfortunately last Friday, founding member of the group, Adam “MCA” Yauch, died after a three-year long battle with throat cancer. The news hit me kinda hard cause I’ve been a fan of the group since the beginning. For those of you not familiar with the history of The Beastie Boys, they started out in 1979 as a hardcore punk band that evolved into a hip-hop group. Their 1986 debut on Def Jam “License To Ill” was not only the first hip hop record to top the Billboard 200 but it also helped take rap to the mainstream during a time when critics and older music fans thought rap was just a passing fad. After leaving Def Jam and signing to Capitol records, The Beastie Boys continued to release hit records like Pauls Boutique, Ill Communication, Hello Nasty and last years critically acclaimed Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. If you’re a fan of The Beastie Boys then this mixtape is a must have. Many thanks to DJ Mick Boogie for providing us with this week’s entry & rest in peace to Adam “MCA” Yauch. Enjoy Knyewtrons…Neva!

KNYEW JACK CITY

For the past couple of months, I’ve been working on this collection with my boy Brian De Leon (a local artist here in Las Vegas, check out some of his artwork here). You might’ve caught a couple sneak peeks on Twitter or Facebook & wondered when it’d be available? Well, all I can say is we’re dropping these tees & tanks for both men & women at the end of the month (yes ladies, we’ll have women tanks available). I’ll be posting the release date very soon, along with more pics & previews from the collection. Knyew Jack City baby…Crooked signing out!
