After a six year hiatus, Adrock (Adam Horowitz), Mike D (Michael Diamond), and MCA (Adam Yauch) -- otherwise known as the Beastie Boys -- are back on the scene and in the studio prepping their new album, which is set to be released June of this year. "The record that we're making is like a hip-hop record, but that doesn't mean we're only checking for hip-hop right now. Everything we like, that's cool, is going to enter the arena," the funky, eclectic trio told the BBC. The Beasties' last album was 1998's Hello Nasty, which sold 3.8 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.
