About
For three mostly diehard New Yorkers who played an ambassadorial role in the dissemination of the city’s hip-hop and punk culture during the ’80s and ’90, the fall of the Twin Towers—which, incidentally, were only a few blocks from the band’s studio—didn’t just upend the Beastie Boys’ live, it forced a reckoning about their legacy and purpose. Fun, yes—and camaraderie, and joint discovery. But <i>To the 5 Boroughs</i> was also an effort of stewardship, of reasserting the culture they came from in the face of changing time. .
