Mike D 5D - Thank You

Beastie Boys' Mike D has announced a new album under the moniker of Mike D 5D, Thank You, coming out on August 28. It's the first album from Beastie Boys alumni since Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 in 2011 and began during home recording sessions. 

Several guests appear, including Mike's sons Skyler and Davis, Carter Lang, Jared Solomon, Ging, Jason Lader, Eddie Ruscha, Tyran Donaldson, and more

"It’s been so much fun making this music with people I love and I have grown to really appreciate in our collaboration,” Mike D commented. "And I just hope it’s fun for others and not overly serious, because let’s be real, I’m releasing this music into a very strange and dark and power-fixated world that really devalues art and feelings and compassion and empathy and equality," Mike D says in a prepared statement.

The album comes out on Capitol Records.

Hot Sauce Committee Part 2
Capitol (2011)

As is common place whenever the Beastie Boys release an album, there is cause for celebration—usually the popular music of the time has grown stagnant, and, on average, it’s been at least three years since the last Beasties’ release.
