The Beastie Boys were an American hip-hop group from New York City, active from 1981 to 2014. The trio consisted of Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz, Adam "MCA" Yauch, and Michael "Mike D" Diamond. Blending hip-hop with rock, punk, and funk influences, they became influential figures in alternative hip-hop and East Coast rap. Known for their experimental approach and genre-defying sound, the Beastie Boys left a significant mark on popular music across multiple decades before concluding their career.
