25 years on from their chart-destroying debut ‘Licensed to Ill’ and the New York trio are back with their latest effort ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 2’. Stereoboard.com are giving you the chance to win a copy of the album in a brand new competition! See below for details on how to enter!
Released earlier this year in April, and unlike earlier offerings such as ‘Hello Nasty’, ‘Ill Communication’ and ‘Check Your Head’, each of which incorporated elements of punk and funk to break up the monotony of the band’s trademark hip-hop sound, ‘Hot Sauce Committee’ largely sees the boys sticking with what they know best.
However, despite the almighty return to their customary hip-hop style, ‘Hot Sauce Committee’ contains an altogether more live feel than its predecessor ‘To The Five Boroughs’. Throughout their newest effort, the Beastie Boys can be heard to trade-in their frequently sample-focused music for more of their refined live band sound.
Overall, ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 2’ is a great album and a welcome return for fans of their earlier work. It comes across as a full-on, audio-intensive rap assault while, at the same time, managing to keep things interesting and modest enough to keep you entertained. There are a couple of outstanding collaborations on stand-out tracks ‘Too Many Rappers’, which features an appearance from Nas, and ‘Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win’, a dub-tinged song with vocalist Santigold.
After 25 years, Beastie Boys are still one of the most hard-working and respected rap outfits going and their latest offering could be yours if you enter our competition below.
