New Beastie Boys: "B Boys In The Cut" Acapella
The deluxe edition of the Beastie Boys' Check Your Head re-release came with a limited 7 inch, containing two new tracks. The songs, "Lee Majors Come Again" and "B Boys In The Cut" both featuring rapping, and are at least fairly new (you can never tell with Beastie Boys tracks). The Beasties are said to be working on a new Hip Hop leaning LP, I'm not sure if these tracks will be included on the album. "B Boys In The Cut" is an acapella, and has already been given remix treatment by some DJs/producers out there. So, we're going to do our own Beastie Boys remix contest. Download "B Boys In The Cut" and send us your new mixes, the best will be posted here and the very best will recieve a Beastie Boys bootleg treasure trove.
