Last Friday, the music world stood still for a minute after learning from the sad death of Adam “MCA” Yauch, a founding member of the pioneering rap band Beastie Boys, at the age of 47 after a nearly three-year battle with cancer. Expectedly, numerous tributes dedicated to the iconic rhymesayer have found their way to the internet. We at HYPETRAK have decided to MCA throughout the week through our Social Media channels but have also prepared a short recap of the musical highlights of the past seven days. In true Weekly Set fashion.
