Ad-Rock Says He’s Sitting On Unreleased Beastie Boys Music: ‘I’m Going To Put It Out’

There could be new music from Beastie Boys coming eventually.

Ad-Rock, MCA and Mike D—collectively known as Beastie Boys—have remained largely inactive since MCA’s 2012 death.

Aside from releasing the Beastie Boys Book in 2018 and its accompanying AppleTV+ special Beastie Boys Story in 2020, Ad-Rock and Mike D fly under the radar.

During a particularly rare podcast appearance, Ad-Rock told Kreative Kontrol there’s still hope for new Beastie Boys music.

“We actually have a whole full album. I’m not even kidding.” When pressed for further details, he admitted, “That I can’t disclose, but I can tell you, with all honesty, there is a whole other album. I don’t know if the world … really needs that right now—but maybe they want it? I don’t know. They’re going to get it, at some point, because I’m going to put it out.”
