Beastie Boys Adam "MCA" Yauch To Be Honored At 2013 Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival

It looks like the 9th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival is getting bigger every year. Today, organizers announced additions to the already stellar lineup and calendar of events. In addition to headliners Pusha T, EPMD and Redman, Brooklyn Bodega, producers of the Festival will be paying tribute to Adam Yauch aka “MCA” of the Beastie Boys. The founder of the legendary group passed away last year from cancer and the team at Brooklyn Bodega has wanted to pay their respects since the news broke. On the final day of the festival, July 13, the festival will stop for a moment of silence for Yauch and then launch into a tribute curated by Jackson and Bodega DJ, RawBeatz. Brooklyn Bodega will also release an exclusive mix of Beastie songs of remixes from the “Cookie Puss” days all the way to “Hot Sauce Committee.”
