RIP....MCA (Beastie Boys)

Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys has passed away at the age of 47. GlobalGrind has confirmed this very sad news.
One of our heroes, Adam Yauch aka MCA of the Beastie Boys, passed away this morning after a long bout with cancer.
Yauch was a member of the groundbreaking, incredibly innovative and creative group, The Beastie Boys, with his two friends, Mike D and Ad-Roc, which changed our culture forever.
Yauch was born an only child in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Frances and Noel Yauch, a painter and architect. His father was Catholic and his mother was Jewish.
Throughout high school, he taught himself to play the bass guitar.  The Beasties first show, then still a hardcore punk band, while still attending Edward R. Murrow High School in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Yauch attended Bard College for two years before dropping out. Two years later, at the age of 22, the Beastie Boys, now performing as a hip-hop trio, released their first album Licensed to Ill on Def Jam Records.
In 2009, Yauch was treated for a cancerous parotid gland and a lymph node and underwent surgery and radiation therapy. He later made a video announcement about his diagnosis.

Meyhem Lauren f. Himanshu and Action Bronson, “Special Effects” (Prod. by Harry Fraud)

In March, while everyone else in Austin for SXSW got dehydrated and stood in parking lots, listening to the sound of a lot of bands playing in close proximity to one another, Meyhem Lauren, Himanshu Suri, Action Bronson, Riff Raff, AG the Coroner and producers Tommy Mas and Harry Fraud holed up in a hotel room and made an album, Lauren’s Respect the Fly Shit, to be released by LRG/Greedhead this month. Over crunchy snares and a chorus of dark angels, Bronson raps about twisting weed into takeout origami swans on “Special Effects,” a lurching track from that project. Like Riff Raff, Smoke DZA, Curren$y, French Montana and seemingly everyone else, Himanshu is working on more tracks with Fraud, who’s productive pretty much wherever. Expect their collaborative EP “soon.”
