Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty

If Check Your Head was the basement party and Ill Communication was the street festival, Hello Nasty is the Beastie Boys launching their sound into deep space. This 1998 masterpiece saw the group drafting in the legendary Mix Master Mike, whose "supernatural" scratching abilities pushed the trio into a whole new dimension of sound.

From the robot-funk of "Intergalactic" to the pure hip-hop clinic of "Three MC’s and One DJ," this album is a kaleidoscopic trip through boom-box beats, lounge-core grooves, and futuristic sampling. It’s the sound of a band at the absolute peak of their creative powers. This 180-gram 2-LP set ensures every cosmic synth and distorted bassline hits with maximum impact. Your speakers aren't ready.
