The year 2012 was a tough one for the Beastie Boys after they lost one member of their legendary trio, rapper-turned-filmmaker Adam Yauch a.k.a MCA, to cancer. But according to the New York Times, things are looking up for Michael Diamond (Mike D) and Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock) who will join forces to pen a "multidimensional experience" with Random House's Spiegel & Grau division with a memoir slated to be released in fall 2015. Paper Mag also reports that Adam Yauch will be officially be getting a park named after him in Brooklyn Heights later this week. If the book's even a smidgeon amazing as Mike D's luxe French toile wallpaper that now graces the walls of a nightclub, we'll be ecstatic. But until the book's released, feel free to reminisce on the days when this scrawny young trio used to rap about Brooklyn dressed in golden chains, snapback hats, fur-lined parkas, and dark shades in the video below.
